What I've discovered in my year in The Villages, at least in my home, when it was built, the plumbers used "reduced pressure" feeds everywhere. Those devices get clogged up. At least once every month or two, I have to take the feeds off my vanity sinks & toilet, to clean out the screens. I assume the Showerheads are the same, but mine isn't too bad.

Keep in mind, any showerhead installed prior to 1992, is limited to 2.5 gallons/minute.

I'm sure there are plumbers on here, who know way more about it, than I.
