I seem to have a lot of sediment in my hot water tank, because I get a lot of a granulated-like substance in my faucet screens. I clean them out, and everything is great. However, each of my showers have very low water pressure, and the separate tub has low hot water pressure, but the cold water is fine. There's nothing in the shower heads or tub spouts to clean. Could there be sediment build-up somewhere else?
Thanks.

Do you have galvanized pipes?
Galvanized is notorious for scaling up inside over time until they eventually plug up completely.
The only cure for galvanized is replacement.
Good luck!

I have copper pipes, as the house is only 7 years old.
