Try cleaning out your water heater by turning it off and draining it.I had same prob in my back bath and mine was all caked up with gunk and rust chips,etc. I was to late though!! Had to get new one.And i had to snake a couple of pipes before i finally got pressure back! good luck

Hello dandee50.

I am sure there are many members who would like to know...

How did you get the tub out of the bathroom? We are having quite a discussion on that very topic.

OH no, not that discussion.

I'd sooner be lost in Bryce Canyon, at night, without a compass, than go to THAT discussion.

Don't go there! You'll never come back.

I think this was meant for the guy with the iron tub that plans to smash it up to get it out of house {{how do you smash an iron tub??}i think he should torch it apart ? Wouldn't you welders agree! What o you call it when you ''torch'' something apart or ''un-weld''something??How did this get to me! The funny thing is i did just replaced my tub with a jacuzzi but mine was fiberglass.And i never mentioned it on CR4??????Weird!!!

Start at the problem point, follow the pipes back to a point where the flow is ok.
This can be done by carefully slackening joints or testing drain cocks, taps etc.
The problem is then between those two points, clean, mend, replace intervening fittings as required.
It's like any fault finding procedure, a slow steady methodical approach will work.
If you want to try something quick cheap and easy, turn the tap on full, operate any interve neing fittings to encourage flow and try whacking them with a piece of wood * approx 2x2", it may disslodge any build up of debris. Of course this sort of trick is at your own risk, but it's worked for me in the past.

*Note this technique is not to be tried on troublesome colleagues

I think you should see a doctor. Sounds like you may be having prostate problems.
