check it doesn't have a water saving device fitted, mine did and it was like showering under a fast drip, I asked a friend and he told me how to remove it ,relatively easy and 100% better

I would first remove the shower head and make sure it's not clogged up with lime/scale..

I am with Vinny and lambshank problem is with the shower head . You should have 35lbs at the curb ,this means out side faucets . Not practical in the house . With shower head off try turning on the water and check pressure . Hold the hose or life will get very interesting and messy fast . LOL! Bill

When I removed my shower head I found a plastic washer that reduces the volume of water and mine was clogged with lime deposits too. That helped a lot. But when my water supplier decided to reduce the system-wide water pressure, I took the plastic washer out of the shower head.
