How can I increase water pressure in my shower?

Answer by  eamuscatuli (80)

If you have a newer shower head, then there may be a restictor in place to reduce the level of water flow and water pressure. Assuming the problem is a restrictor, then you just need to take off the shower head and remove the plastic insert that acts as the restictor.

Most likely, it is the plumbing coming into the house. Calcium, rust and other minerals build up inside the lines and decrease water flow. You may need to replace them.
