Water Pressure

[saltytuna1]

Hi All,
I have a 2013 Raptor 310TS. While hooked up to city water and using an in-line pressure regulator I have decent water pressure at the bathroom sink and toilet but very low pressure at the shower and kitchen sink. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found a fix.

Thanks, Steve

This may sound stupid in regards to the shower, but if there is a button on the side of the handle for the shower head, make sure that its pushed all of the way. I've had that happen.

I've checked the valves and the screens at each fixture, all are OK.

Try it on your freshwater tank instead of city water. If you then have good pressure, I would hook back to the city water and try it without the regulator. It may be a bad regulator.

I have the same model and so far have not had any pressure issues.

I would recommend remove the aerators, screens and waterresrictors and run the water without them in case there is debris lodged behind them. I increased my shower volume by disssembling the shower main water valve and drilling out the restrictor hole a tiny bit larger. It uses more water this way, but provides flow that I prefer for a good shower. The restrictor is located in the white plastic top of tee located just below where the shower hose connects to the valve assembly.
You may also want to inspect all pex lines to see if any are kinked. I wouldn't rule that out.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I purchased a high volume adjustable regulator w/ gauge, set it @ 55 PSI and everything is pretty good now. Still have less flow at the kitchen sink and shower then at the bathroom sink and toilet but substantially better than before.
Steve, I did check for kinks and found none, I've pulled apart the shower head and didn't find a restrictor so I'll check at the valve like you said. Thanks for the info.
