You have lost hot water pressure in your shower but not in your sinks what would cause this?

A dirty or clogged screen can cause the low water presser remove shower head and clean. If not it could be calcium deposits built up on shower head if so soak shower head in a cleaning solution for several hours if that dose not work buy a new shower head. (note some shower heads have a low flow re-stricter in some cases you can remove this and get more water pressure)

What would cause low pressure in a shower when you have replaced the hot water line out of the water heater?
you have trash in your line take the shower head off and remove trash or possibly in water valve at shower
The water pressure in your upstairs bathroom is getting low you took the aerators of the sinks and found a white sentiment buildup on it you also removed the cartridges from your shower valve and also?
When the water pressure in your upstairs bathroom is getting low and you find a white sediment buildup in the aerator of the sink, it is the most likely cause of low pressure. You can also find the buildup in other fixtures including the shower valve and cartridges. Cleaning the sediment from the parts helps restore pressure.
Can installing a new water heater cause a pipe in the shower to leak?
If you have a new pressurised water system there is a possibility that the added water pressure could cause a leak.
What would cause temperature and pressure fluctuation in the shower when no other water source is on?
My first thought is a leaky hot water line.
What is the minimum water pressure required to install a shower?
This does vary slightly according to the shower, but for a shower without a pump, using a gravity feed, a water pressure of at least 0.1 bar is recommended. If your water pressure is low you will need to install a pumped shower.
No pressure for hot water in shower?
More than likely a blockage, leak, or bad installation. If some other showers, toilets, and sinks are having problems with running water then it's likely a problem with the entire water system, usually bad parts or a leak.
Why is it bad to flush the toilet when someone is in the shower?
Because it effects the water pressure of the shower. This causes the temperature of the water in the shower to also change.
Why would you lose pressure in your shower head when the pressure in the tub is fine?
There is a screen and/or a water saver in the shower head. The screen may be plugged with sediment from in the water.
What could be wrong if when you are showering and another faucet is turned on the shower water cools?
Its a loss in water pressure to the shower.
If you replaced both cartridges on a shower valve due to very low water pressure and still no water pressure you removed cartridges and turned water on and water pressure is good?
May be build up in the valve itself or the shower head.
Are there any shower filters that don't lower water pressure?
I will say you can take a look at aquasana shower water filter.
Why is it that a shower curtain is pulled into the spray of the shower?
The flow of water from the shower creates a low-pressure area inside the shower stall, causing the shower curtain to be drawn inward due to the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the shower. This phenomenon is called the Bernoulli principle, where higher speed of a fluid (in this case, the water spray) results in lower pressure.
