: pressure on shower/bath very low. : when I removed the on/off valves the pressure returned to normal. : Could my problem be the valves themselves? : Your reply will be greatly appreciated.Hi, Fred!!!It is possible, but doubtful. My experience says that the screens or small holes in the shower heads tend to plug up with small deposits of calcium that occur in the water heater. When these break free and travel to these small openings, they tend to plug. Cleaning them out (or replacing small screens) should restore flow.Good Luck!!!
