: We recently bought a house, circa 1939. We know many of the pipes are galvanized, however, the pressure works fine EXCEPT the shower. If it just local to the shower, what might be the problem and the solution?Try removing the Shower head 1st.Just because you have Galvanized doesnt mean the system is corroded you can wash this shower head with vinegar to remove possible calcum deposits. Once the shower head is removed onen the faucets full flow and then see what happens.?? now for some things that it can be if not this. Try the how water look at the flow. Shut it off and Turn on the C/W look at the flow if they are the same it could be the riser pipe from the shower body or a broken washer blocking the seat. If one side has mush more pressure it could mean you may need to have some crodence replaced ( branch work) Hopefully it will only be a simple shower head good Luck. SylvanLMP
