Exterior Shower Low Pressure - 2019 TAB 320 S

RetireeBC · April 2021

Greetings. After de-wintering this year I noticed that our exterior shower has normal pressure when first turned on; but within a few seconds looses pressure while making a noise similar to a tap that isn't closed properly. At this point the water trickles out of the shower head. I'm wondering if others have had a similar issue and if so, how I might fix this.

There are a couple of reasons. A kinked hose behind the shower box may be one. Another is the strange design of the actual shower head. Details with pictures in this thread.

Here is another discussion showing how to modify the flow restrictor with good photos

I did this to mine as well as removing the box and silicone taping and retightening the connections behind as they can loosen and leak apparently

Mine is good now

Thanks very much to you both. The information is very helpful. I've determined that the hose isn't kinked. So I will look at the shower head itself to see if it is the problems. Cheers.

Open up the shower head if possible, and look for contaminants, especially pieces of plastic from the fresh water tank and lines.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've been able to resolve the problem after changing the washer between the hose and the taps. After close inspection, I don't think it was seated properly with a very small piece along the edge that had become torn. This only became visible after removing the washer. So the problem is solved! Thanks again.
