Shower Problemo - United Bimmer Community

Ok, heres the deal. I live in a second storie apartment and my shoewr SUCKS! Its not very hot, and it practicaly drips out. I like em scorching hot and hard hitting. I looked around for a possible solution, and i got to the conclusion that the shower head isint the problem. I dont know what to do, besides move. I dont wana call the plumber as they can be very costly and this will be on a pretty tight budget. Can you guys offer me any help?

shower head wouldn't affect heat. Umm there could be a leak in your pipes.

Called the Landlord? It should be his responsibility to fix.

umm the lack of water flow is due to water pressure problems. Your water might be coming from a water tower? Or they just didnt engineer the apartments right and the main water supply to the property isnt big enough. Basically theres nothing to do about that.
Go to homedepot, im sure they got shower heads that compensate for lack of water pressure.

as for the hot water, look for your water heater. Then turn the knob up that says heat.

One more thing...the guys at home depot might try to give you advice...but be skeptical cause...well they work at homedepot. Most of the employees dont know what they are talking about. This is coming from the son of a contractor who spent most of his child hood ont he job site or at home depot.

Yep, call the landlord. You are renting, so it's not your problem. Just don't make unreasonable demands. It's the only nice thing about renting.

Just get one of those black market shower heads like Kramer did in Seinfeld.

Is there a building manager you can talk to?

you can get a shower head like I have that reduces water use, and as a result, the back pressure makes it a more powerful shower.
