A while back, folks here were trying to help a fellow Entegra owner find and fix a low water pressure in the shower issue.

Someone suggested removing the cover behind the handle and checking the adjustment screws for the hot and cold.

In the last week, my show pressure has dropped to almost zero. I removed flow restrictions- no change. Pulled the cover and tried to turn the adjustment screws counterclockwise neither would turn at all. Turned them both all the way clockwise which cut the water off completely. Moved both back to the original full open position and BINGO problem solved.

I would have never figured this out if it wasn't for all the folk on this forum helping all the time.

Thank you all very much.

Yes, over the years, this forum has saved my butt many, many times!

And ... it has cost me lots of money on mods I just had to do.

Just learned something new. It looks like hard water deposits can build up behind those screws. Had water pressure one day, the next day none. Looks like breaking the deposits loose took care of the problem. Thanks for sharing, we all learned from your post along with Matt's original post.

Honestly, I think our screws were out of whack, and likely had some hard water deposits.

I’m just glad that we have a really deep bench of super helpful people.

Absent this, I’d be on the side of the road, in the dark, with water barely dribbling out!
