Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Dec 19, 2010 4:10 am We rent a one-family house which has a regular bathroom with a tub and shower upstairs. Downstairs, in an unfinished basement, there is also a half-bath with just a toilet/sink/shower.Tihe hot water tank is in the basement. We just can't seem to get any water pressure when we are trying to take a shower upstairs or when we work at the kitchen sink. We have lived here since April 24, 2006. Our landlord lives right next door. I hate to bother them if there is nothing that can be done anyway. Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts? It is also very hard to regulate the water temperature in the shower as far as hot and cold. It seems to be either very hot or very cold before you finally get it adjusted. Re: Is there any way I can increase the water pressure in ou 2Dec 19, 2010 10:27 am All modern tapware have flow restrictors in the aerators. If you removed them, you would increase water flow. The shower rose, if modern, has a restrictor in that. removing that will increase water flow. other than that, youd have to have a booster pump fitted. hardly worth it if youre renting.
