Increase The Flow: How To Increase The Water Pressure On Your Shower And Faucets

A common complaint that we receive is poor water pressure at one fixture or another in a home. Whether it is the shower or a sink faucet, nine times out of ten hard water buildup is the culprit. To increase the pressure on the shower you have to remove the shower head and clean the scale off using an appropriate none corrosive cleaner. For the sink faucets you remove the aerator at the end of the faucet (it should just unscrew) and clean it or replace the aerator with a new one.


Preventative maintenance is the key. The harder water that you have the more often you should clean out your fixtures. Every three to six months is usually a good time window. A water softener can altogether eliminate this problem.
