Fix Low Water Pressure In Shower

#howto #DIY
This video addresses how to make the showerhead have better water pressure. Keep in mind that doing this will let more water through, and waste more water.
Let me know if you have any questions or video requests.

Thank you, just moved into a new place and the pressure was incredibly low. Turns out the filter was filled with plastic pieces that looked clogged. But wouldn't have thought to look there unless this video. Awesome saved us $50.

This worked like a champ but when reinstalling I noticed what looked like a coating that manufacturers spray on pipes had leaked over and formed a "dam" blocking half the pipe. I removed this and reinstalled and the pressure is amazing. Thanks.

This worked like a charm. Thanks for the video!

[@aaronfixesstuff]

Great video, this fixed mine as well. Thank you!

Awesome!! Glad to help!!

Mine didn’t have an O-Ring, BUT it had loads of sediment mashed against the mesh inside. Cleaned out with a metal pick and used porcelain cleaner to dissolve any leftover stuff. Slapped it back on and BAM! HIGH PRESSURE BABY!

Works like a charm, thanks.

[@aaronfixesstuff]

Awesome!! Happy to hear!!!

[@katinabrandy6788]

This really works

[@aaronfixesstuff]

I agree :)

[@justmejo9008]

Done this.. Works great. You don't need to turn on the water very high so you control how much water pressure you need for the job like when you need to rinse long hair. Conserve that way but have an effective shower head.

[@aaronfixesstuff]

Absolutely! Unfortunately with many single handle shower valves, you can only control temperature, not flow. In my case, that’s how it works.

[@justmejo9008]

Aaron Fixes Stuff oohs darn.. These new houses lol. Well you don't want to do this to a shower in a teenagers bathroom 😳

[@Iduininane]

[@jaysousa7433]

Thank you hahaha I’ve watching three different videos and the black ring was the problem my wife is going to be happy now hahahaha

[@aaronfixesstuff]

Awesome!! Glad to help Jay!

[@xphile01]

I just took out the entire green restrictor ..and what I mean by that is ...I completely destroyed it ... I drove the head of my screw screwdriver through the center of it cause the needle-nose weren't working ... wish I had just took out the black ring first to see what the difference would be .....but the shower works great now ..thanks for the vid =)

[@aaronfixesstuff]

Haha that works as well! Glad it improved the pressure :)

[@pollogaming4351]

Broo this actually worked so well

[@aaronfixesstuff]

Awesome dude! Glad to help!!

[@mannyheffley4599]

Woah,a gamer fixing his shower?

[@abzd9828]

Anyone had one where shower pressure goes low then high then low again...ad infinitum?

[@unEthiK]

Thank you so much for this video, you saved me money and time from having to call a plumber !

[@aaronfixesstuff]

Glad to help!! And glad to save you some money :$

[@fallenangel878]

Same here thanks

[@simplistic3597]

THANK YOU I APRECIATE IT

[@celsotorres1630]

What is the purpose of black ring?

[@aaronfixesstuff]

It helps restrict the water flow (gpm).

[@marshmallow13585]

I only have low water pressure for hot water.

[@aaronfixesstuff]

It sounds like it might be an issue with the valve. This solution will not work for you unfortunately.

[@vegetablepolice1]

thout u where gunna take the flow restricter out

[@aaronfixesstuff]

That’s what that was :)

[@lorisanchez4283]

Doesn't work folks

[@dergibog27]

Wrong. Worked a treat! 😅

[@amandaamanda7938]

That indicates the issue is not with the shower head.
