The indoor shower works fine. Pressure is good. The outdoor shower is weak in comparison. I've even turned the hot and cold knobs all the way up as well as opened the valve on the shower head all the way. The water comes out but is weak. It has no force to it, but it doesn't trickle out either. It's good for washing your feet off after the beach or something but that's it.

Is this common? Is there some kind of regulator in that line to prevent too much pressure?

there is probabaly a piece of debris or calcium build up stuck in the shut off valve would be my guess. Those shower heads are real easy to disassemble and inspect for junk inside it.

I replaced mine for one with better pressure.
Also, some of them have a valve, like an aerator type, between the hose and shower head- take it out and see what happens.

Mine's the same way and we got our tt in June. I think the shower head has one of those ultra low flow water saving discs on it, I just have not disassembled it to check. Maybe on our next trip....

I had to clean the outlet holes on the head. They got a little clogged up pushing that pink antifreeze through them.
