Hot Water Flow question
 
I have a typical colonial house, and I am having hot water flow issues
upstairs.

In both upstairs bathrooms, I get adequate to nice hot water flow in the
sink. However, the showers are another story:

1) The dedicater shower"barely" has any hot water at all. I have to MAX the
hot water & just "touch" the cold water handle to get a good temperature
mix.

2) A tub/shower combo gets adequate pressure from the shower head, but
almost none from bathtub spout. Bizzare?

This is a mystery to me, because the adjacent faucets seem to get enough hot
water pressure.

Please help
Thanks

How old are the pipes and fixtures? Do you live in a hard water area?
