Hi! I've got an unusual (to me) problem. 8 year old house - schneider construction. As of 3 days ago only the HOT water has low pressure and it is ONLY in the shower head and tub faucet. There is a single moen style round hot/cold handle that I replaced a couple years ago. The shower is upstairs (2 story house) and the pressure is fine in the faucets. I'm pretty sure it is not the shower head etc as the faucet in the tub is just as bad.
I read in forums about draining the water heater -This had never been done. I drained the water heater (gas) and then drained it again. On the second time I also turned the cold water inlet on so it just gushed through the hose. I saw some really small calcium(?) deposits. One other odd clue, the house is in a development and the next door neighobor just bought there house. That house had been vacent for a year. This all started about a week after they moved in. My wife called and the auburn water people came out and said that the water pressure was 5.4 (?) and fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
