Low hot water pressure

Posted by Bernadette Curry on February 08, 19100 at 16:40:31:
As the water heats up in my house, the water pressure drops. This happens in the shower, sink, washing machine, etc. When taking a shower, the water pressure often flows to a trickle and can be momentarily increased (but only slightly) by diverting the flow through the tub spout until you can hear the flow return and then re-divert it to the shower nozzle. This only helps for a few minutes and then the flow begins to wane again. Any suggestions. Is it the water heater or something else? Thanks.
