Shower water pressure

I have very little water pressure coming from my shower. I even removed low flow restricter and there was no difference. I have a pressure regulator set at 45# at city water inlet. Shouldn’t I get good water pressure and flow at shower nozzle. Sinks in bathroom and kitchen have good volume and pressure.

Sounds like you have some other obstruction in your line. Hopefully, you will find it when you take off the other end of the shower hose.

If that doesn't work, you should post a picture of your shower faucet, hose, and shower head.

Hi Maddocks,
I would recommend you replace the shower head with an Oxygenics shower head:
The Shower of Power
The stock shower heads are awful.

For some reason the shower heads just are not RV friendly. When ever I get a new unit the top of the bucket list is to replace the shower head with the Oxygenics brand. This shower head is made to provide great pressure in the RV shower.

Back flow regulator and faucet connections

Did some more work looking for possible obstructions. Notice a back flow regulator looking device located where hose connects to faucet. The back flow device has a very small diameter connection. So……I think I’ll replace the faucet, shower hose and head with an Oxygenics shower head. Any suggestions for faucet brand.

Reduced shower flow??

I once had that problem on my 2009 Tour. I turned out to be a broken back flow valve in the hot water heater. I believe the purpose of the valve is to allow antifreeze to flush out the hot water tank when preparing for winter. As I recall the valve is metal and screws directly into the hot water tank. For a quick fix, the back flow valve and can be defeated by removing the stuck ball and reinstalling the valve body. It would be a good idea to install a new ball check valve before winter. Hope this helps to jog the memory of others on the list.

There was some discussion on this recently here: https://www.winnieowners.com/forums/...ve-359052.html A good reminder that I should order one!

Update. Just installed my new Oxygenics shower head. It diffinantly has more pressure. Make sure hose connections are correct, had to reverse the hose to eliminate leacks. Thanks to you all for your comments.
