: I have less pressure coming from my hot water heater than from cold water taps. Tried flushing hot water heater and did not improve problem. Reply: There could be several reasons. One may be the cold water valve feeding the WH is partially closed or restricted with debris. The same goes for the nipple on the outlet side, it couild be internally corroded, restricting water flow. Good Luck. e-plumber
