Help!
Our house is now 10 years old and seems to be quietly disbursing plumbing attacks! The Moen "shower only" unit turns on with no problem except there is no pressure. The hot water is turned ALL the way up in order to get hot water. Trying just cold made no difference in pressure. We do not have the fancy style positemp or Moentrol...just the plan old fashion shower kit. I read through the complete thread on what seems to be the same situation I am having however; I am not sure if my problem is a pressure balance spool, bad "o" ring, or bad cartridge. The Horror stories on removal of any of these items have me nervous since I am female and strength is not one of my best traits. What would be my simplist way to identify what the problem is and any good suggestions on the fix.
Thank you:
