Upstairs shower - A-OK
Downstairs shower - blah

Hahaha I thought you "never" used one of those!

No one ask me how nabisco knows my shower habits!

Back when I had two roomates, I used the upstairs shower, which provided me with plenty of high-pressured showery goodness. Now that I have just one roommate, we both enjoy a bathroom to ourselves, but my downstairs shower is but a weak drizzle.

Also, so no one o_Os this thread, I want you all to know, I usually shower fully clothed or at least soap up the faucets so i don't accidentally see my body.

I feel like there was a thread around here, at some point, where someone recommended some little showerhead widget thing that added some force. There seem to be a lot of those out there -- showerheads or inserts that promise way more force.

Yes, a flow restrictor will increase the pressure. If the showerheads are not the same between the 2 showers, just try swapping them. Then the upstairs shower will be meh and the downstairs one will blast you.

two years pass...

The shower in my apartment slowed down to a trickle. The maintenance guy removed the shower head and attached some sort of pump to the pipe, which sucked out all the shit that was clogging it.

You can clean the showerhead with white vinegar and it will unclog all of the mineral buildup.
