We had terrible water pressure in our bathrooms. I replaced all the faucet nozzles (aerators) to 2.2 Gpm (gallons per minute) which they tell me at lowe's that is the highest they are allowed to sell. They cost about $4.00 each. The ones originally in place were 1.5 Gpm. That solved my water pressure issue AND where it used to take over a minute to get HOT water at the sinks farthest from the hot water heater I get hot water now in 15 seconds. I have changed out ALL the shower heads, kitchen and utility sink and faucet aerators at this time and have tons of water pressure now. That is something else you can check.
