27 Mar No Pressure? No Problem – Easy Hot Water Fixes Inside
Before you call a plumber, here’s what to check when your shower pressure drops.
There’s nothing worse than stepping into a shower that feels more like a drizzle than a downpour. How to fix the pressure?
Before calling in the experts,
try these quick fixes
Check Other Taps
If it’s just one tap, the issue could be localised. If it’s all taps, your hot water system might be struggling.
Look for Leaks
Even a small leak in your pipes can lower your water pressure.
Clean Your Shower Head
Mineral build-up can block the flow, a simple soak in vinegar can clear it out.
Check Your Valve Settings
If someone’s partially closed the mains valve, your pressure might be restricted. If none of these do the trick, it’s time to call in the experts—we’ll get it sorted, properly.
