| We just bought a house in upper NW DC. New construction on a very old house. We love everything about it, but I swear there's more pressure in the toilets than the shower. Is there a way to fix this? |

| There may be a flow restrictor in your showerhead.. |

+1. All the new ones severely restrict flow. Faucets too. It's a federal mandate. Old houses used to have great water pressure. |

Is it just the shower? If so, buy a new shower head and take out the water-saver ring inside the head before installing it.
If not, there are ways to increase your water pressure, but it will likely involve a plumber. Did you not check that/not care during the inspection? |
