Is there a way to increase the water pressure in an older home ?


Home was built in 1955 using galvanized pipes.


It also has 2 water heaters, one supplies just the washing machine.


Thanks,
Andy


Booster pump and tank. Shouldn't run more than about $200.

Thanks.

Your idea brought up an idea.

The pressure is only an issue with one shower.

Maybe a booster pump and tank for it?


The problem is probably a pluged head or valve, most likely the head. Take it
off - do you get powerful flow? Then clean or replace the head.
