Many households complain of low water pressure. however, water pressure is more or less similar in the entire block, regardless of the level you stay at. the most common cause of low water pressure is a blockage somewhere in the lines. and usually this occurs in the mixer . clearing the clog will result in an increased flow of water.

Thanks for the really useful video and I've just subscribed to your channel :) I have similar issue with my mixer but thinking of replacing it with a spare mixer (same model) instead. Question is the spare mixer is kept in my store room for 7-8 years and I'm not sure if I can still use it, the internal seems not rusted, a little bit of water inside and sort of metal peeling on the outside. Any advice? Other reasons to replace with spare mixer, is the current one has other issues like the internal has dirt/rust/limescale build up

I followed your steps but at 2:31, my mixer head (?) doesn't come off at all unlike yours. not even loose. worse of all, the little Allen screw that was holding everything together got stuck in the tiny hole and I was left with a worse situation than I had started. this is the problem with DIY and what generally puts me off 😞 I managed to pry the screw out with much difficulty, only for it to fall back into the hole while I was trying to screw it back in. luckily I managed to do it a second time round and fixed it again. my water pressure issue wasn't solved but at least it is still working now.

I wish I watched this video before trying to adjust my thermostatic mixer valve. 😂 I stupidly unscrewed the handle and water was gushing out and soaking me from head to toe. I was lucky that there was no hot water in my storage heater. Because I had zero idea how to turn off the main water supply, I had to use a lot of strength to push the valve back in against the water pressure and screw it back. 😅 Btw, do you know if thermostatic shower valves are easily replaceable? Are they somewhat like “standard” size?

😆 thats a funny story! I'm glad you're not hurt! I'm not sure about thermostatic valves, however, as with all valves, I do suggest you bring the old one to the shop to get an exact match!

Actually if there are works further up the pipe line, it may be contaminated by some small stones and it will make its way into water outlets. Unfortunately in this case it is the shower mixer.
