Help! Water pressure in shower is pathetic!
I just moved into a 3 year old townhouse that is perfect in every way except for when i take my daily shower. There is very little water pressure on the hot water side of the faucet and it makes rinsing my hair a tedious and much longer process. cleaning, soaking and even changing the shower head hasn't made a speck of difference. It's a Mohen brand, if that's any help. Same problem in my second bathroom shower, again - only on the hot water side, and only when I run the shower. Tub, kitchen sink, dishwasher all work great, pressure just disappears when I turn on the water for a hot shower.

Granted, it may not be fixing the real problem, but it should improve the pressure some.
I don't know the specifics of your system (if you describe it I may be able to help further), but it sounds like your problem could be caused by a damaged or degraded shower Valve cartridge. I know Moens systems don't work exactly the same as ours so there may be some differences but here is a brief video we put together on how to re-calibrate a shower valve:
If I was you I would try contacting Moen and see what advice they have. I'm sure they have aftercare videos like our own that should help you.
