Weak water pressure

[Mary and Griffin]

I'm not having exactly the same problem, but hoping someone can help me. The water pressure in kitchen sink and bathroom sink is fine. The "cold" water in the bathtub is fine. The "hot" water is turned on all the way and only a small stream comes out. It makes it almost impossible to take a shower, and forget ever taking a bath. Any help?

Hi,

I separated your post from the other thread. They are not the same problem, although similar.

We encourage members to start there own threads, even though similar they are different and may require different answers. Also this enables you to get the help you need without being confused by answers that may not apply to your situation.

Thanks Yanita

Since it sounds like it is only on the hot side of the tub faucet, I would look at the faucet. It could be a washer or cartridge problem. Greg

Hmmmmm...? Well M'am I'll have to agree with Greg up to a point. I think the problem is isolated to the "tub" hot water faucet...not the "fub" faucet..as Greg mentioned. (what the.....Greg..where's yer spell checker??) And if I read Gregs post correct..it may be a gammahooched hot water ca'tridge...not a cartarage. Harrumph! In any case..snatch up yer wrenches and shut off the water supply and remove the hot water thinga-ma-giggy from the tub/shower. Now grab a flashlight and look close inside the hole....something is in there preventing water from flowing. A bit of CAREFUL pokin' an proddin' in there might be needed to find the problem. Now, while ya got all the parts out..go yonder to Home Depot or Lowes with the parts in yer hand and ask the nice man/woman there fer some assistance. Show them the parts ya took out!! Install the new parts and enjoy a hot shower or bath. Gitter done! Audie..the grammatickackally correk Oldfart....

Audi, OK I made the nessary corrections, combination of fat fingers, and in a hurry make for mispelling. Greg
