Hi all,
Here's the thing. Low shower pressure. If I remove the cartridge, I have plenty of pressure at the handle. If I remove the shower head, no pressure. I had an issue with water softener with beads coming in the house at all faucet. So even if remove the shower head I have no pressure. Looks like the pipe from the handle/ cartridge to shower spout is blocked . I passed a snake from the shower spout down and all seems clear. Looks like the blockage is somewhere around the handle valve brass split that goes up to the head...
I changed the cartridge with no change.
If I blow (with my mouth) in the shower spout with main valve off and faucet open there is no or very little air passing through. Should I try compressed air or water? What else??
Thanks!
