I don't know how you can increase water pressure for the whole house, but to increase the flow of a showerhead, you could try this (it's probably illegal, but do what you want to do): Some showerheads have the flow restrictor built into them so they can't be tampered with. However, there are some (generally the cheap ones) that have a small washer or metal plate with a hole in it that restricts the flow. If you remove the washer/plate or enlarge the hole using a drill bit, you should get higher pressure. Good luck
