My daughter lives in a condo (out of state) and has hardly any water
flow in the tub and shower. Her sink and kitchen pressure is OK and
she says her neighbors don't have a problem. I'm thinking the problem
might be with the tub valve since flow is OK elsewhere. Pipe is
galvanized. Will appreciate suggestions.

Either the galvanized pipe is clogged, or the vale is not letting water
pass. If it is a cartridge type of valve, just replace the cartridge. Or
clean out something clogging it.

Odds are the galvanized pipe is part of the problem. However, you may
be right about the tub/shower valving. There should be an access panel
behind it where you can check for ordinary things like a crimped line
before getting into the valve assembly. Ask if there is a local hard
water problem.

You don't say if this is a new problem, or if she has always had this
problem.

Is it a single lever shower faucet? Usually the cartidges could get
sticky or plugged up.
