Many people may notice that over time the pressure in their shower begins to decrease.
It seems that we are talking about a serious problem and we need to contact professionals. In reality, anyone can increase the pressure by spending a few minutes, because there are several universal methods.
Cleaning the shower head
Often the cause of low water pressure in the shower is a clogged shower head. A simple way to solve this problem is to clean the shower head from accumulated limescale or other contaminants.
For this, you can use regular vinegar or special limescale removers. Washing the head under running water can also help restore its functionality.
But here everyone should start from rationality. Sometimes there is too much limestone deposits, so it is impossible to remove them with conventional means. There is another option - rust and other contaminants appear inside. Therefore, in some cases it is better to completely replace the watering can.
Checking water filters
Sometimes low water pressure is due to clogged water filters. If there are "soft" filters in the house, they need to be replaced or cleaned. This is a preventive measure that will help to get a stable water pressure throughout the house.
Checking the condition of pipelines
Low water pressure can also be caused by problems with pipelines. Of course, it will not be possible to determine the condition of pipes and the presence of blockages without proper experience. But if the first 2 methods do not allow you to achieve the desired result, it makes sense to act more radically.
Using special shower heads
To increase the water pressure, you can try using special shower heads that help create a stronger flow. The essence of such heads: they have small holes for water, which creates the feeling of strong pressure.
These nozzles have one drawback - they quickly become clogged with limestone deposits. However, buying a special nozzle will allow you to get a comfortable water pressure for taking a shower in the easiest way.
