Hey this worked! Can't tell you how much I appreciate you posting this. My repair worked just like you explained here and took maybe 10 minutes total. Thanks!
the removal of the oring did nothing for my pressure. So would you say that there is no control on the valve itself, like the hot/cold, for the adjustment of water pressure?
does the rubber thingy being gone make the water hotter? I think I may be having an all around water pressure issue at this new apt... because my washer is having issues but my shower is awfully hot and seems to have a very narrow range of temp variance... it's either cold or REALLY HOT and sometimes it randomly changes.
I would try shaking it back-and-forth back-and-forth until it loosens up but it must come straight out if worse comes to worse you can cut it with an angle grinder to get the handle off but do not cut the cartridge take your time and go slow I hope this helps
I took the shower hit completely off and opened the valve after replacing the cartridge and the little rubbers and springs insideand I still have low Hot water pressure.

That's awesome I'm glad it helped you
Can you lower the water pressure by using the handle on this system if you want to reduce the flow from the diverter spout🤔?
thank you. I was able to fix my own shower to get more hot water. Thank you.
Thank you it helped me, however, still way low, its like the thing is barely open, I'm gonna try the handle tomorrow
This is a GREAT HELP! THANK YOU!
That washer inside the nozzle is for higher pressure as well. If you take that out that will not increase the pressure.
I have the same setup. I need to find a new cartridge. Is that a Gerber cartridge? Any idea of the part/model number? Much appreciated.
@waqaasshahnawaz8058 Yes, it is a Pfister 9712500 and pfister 974291. If you're the first owner, it is a free replacement for life.

u might have a flow restricter inside your shower head looks like a plastic ring down inside where it threads onto the shower
It's an anti scold device and has nothing to do with pressure

I’m not getting cold water?
Do you have to turn the water main off to make those adjustments?
Yesssss
Ughhh yes my apartment pays for water and my shower pressure is awful. I have my own water heater and they locked it!! So I can't do this I guess
What if the handle is stuck and won't come off after removing the hex nut ?
I would try shaking it back-and-forth back-and-forth until it loosens up but it must come straight out if worse comes to worse you can cut it with an angle grinder to get the handle off but do not cut the cartridge take your time and go slow I hope this helps

I have a brand new house, like moved in three days ago. My shower pressures are all low, should I check for that rubber gasket?
Yes
What happens if you don’t turn the main water off while making the adjustment
Absolutely nothing as long as you don’t turn the water on the plastic thing is only a guide and a stopper
This is the exact one I have, i need a replacement but dont know the brand name, any help?
This was in a house i was working on but had no name on it take a pic to the hardware store they will locate the brand its very comon
DO IT YOURSELF ITS EASY Thank you for replying :) the brand is Pfister
Just hot water increase, not pressure as stated.
You have to do your shower head for the pressure. Thank Me Later
I took the shower hit completely off and opened the valve after replacing the cartridge and the little rubbers and springs insideand I still have low Hot water pressure.
My wife will have hot showers thanks to this info..

Why add stupid music to your video? It just makes it harder to follow what you are saying.
