Fixing Low Water Pressure in the Shower
Last weekend, two friends of ours (Ethan and Jocie) finally finished their bathroom remodel. After everything was done (and looked great), Ethan turned on the water for the first time to find that the water pressure was extremely disappointing. Together, we worked to identify the problem and fix it (this shouldn’t be hard for two college graduates). Ethan took photos and videos along the way, and then compiled this great little finished product on what the problem was, and how we fixed it. Kudos to Ethan for the film. He’s got better video mixing skills than me.
Of course, not every fix will be this easy. Remember when you’re doing plumbing work, especially on the pressurized side, it’s important not to get anything in the line. If something gets clogged in a pipe behind a wall, it is awefully hard to fix it, and you might be ripping out drywall (or worse, tile or granite) to make it right.

I like it when things are easy like that.

Yeah, you would’ve thought our first attempt at fixing it was to check for sediment. Ohh well..
