I live in a modular home (1996?) with two bathrooms. The water pressure in the shower in the master bath is absolutely pathetic. It comes and goes, but lately it is so bad that water isn't even comming out of all the holes in the shower head. It just drizzles out like it is drooling! It does this with both hot and cold water, and it has different amounts of pressure every time we turn it on (all poor). Every other water source in the house has good water pressure (no change). This shower used to have plenty of pressure, could there be some mineral deposits in the lines, or maybe an air bubble? Please help or soon I may have to resort to washing my hair with the kitchen sprayer!!!!:rolleyes:
Thanks,
Aaron

Thanks for your help, I wasn't sure where to start. The problem turned out to be a piece of plastic broken off inside that was clogging the outlet before water got to the shower head.
Runs fine now.
Thanks!
