Some facts behind the story:
1. I turned off the toilet and sink valves to remove these fixtures for tiling the floor. During the 10 days of the project the tub faucet was used a few times, but not the shower head.
2. Thinking the problem was lime build up in the head due to letting it dry out for several days, I did two CLR treatments - no improvement.
3. Toilet, sink and tub all still have full pressure, but the shower has pitiful pressure.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is it possible that there's some sort of build up in the pipe above the tub faucet?
2. If yes, is there any way to flush a cleaning solution backward through the pipes to clean it out?
3. What else should I look at?
