Low Shower Pressure

We have very low pressure in the shower - dry camping or with hookups. I took the the shower hose off on the faucet side. Coming out of the faucet fixture there is only a small hole, offset so that it looks like hardly any water could get thru. Has anyone drilled out this hole to increase the water flow to the shower head? Good idea or bad?

I took the stainer out of my shower head and all is good. You should be able to do the same.

Mine had pieces of wood in it.

I have a new Camco shower head but the pressure is still low. Has anyone heard of D Spud connector that replaces the vacuum breaker connection to the faucets?

ribbs65:
Check your outside shower. make sure the hot and cold water valves are cut off. If the valves are on and the shower head is cut off, the water bypasses in the valves causing low pressure. It will also cause lower hotwater temp. in the shower and sinks.

Do you have the original shower head, the white one?

We replaced ours with this

Made a big difference, even when the pump was supplying water.

We replaced the old one with a new shower head. Works fine now

We have a new Camco showerhead. Pressure seems to be the same - low - as it was before. Read somewhere that replacing the vacuum breaker at the faucet with a "D Spud" would increase the water flow. Anyone heard this? Thanks.

Never had a problem with vacuum breaker. The head was plugged from to many showers. Bought the Chrome set this time, LOL.

We also replaced ours with a cheap model from Wal-Mart that had a longer hose. My daughter likes to remove the shower head from the mount and hold it in her hand and the original hose was hard and not quite long enough.

I also had a problem with wood/sawdust but mine was with the bathroom sink... I couldn't get a drop to come out of it. After looking at the plumbing lines to ensure there were no shutoffs, I took the faucet apart and was shocked at the amount of stuff in there!! Cleaned it out and it worked like a charm.
