Is it equipped with a water filter? You may want to change the filter out to a less restrictive one to increase your pressure. Good luck.

If on pump, it will depend on the pump size. Pumps range from 1 gal/min to 3.5 gal/min. You need to see what size you have and check its thru put rate using a gal container and watch.
On city water, you have a fixed regulator that controls the water pressure. Some are set at 40 psi... others at 60 psi. Take your reg off and replace it with a Watts 560 or equivalent.
If you have a water filter, some are rated at 1 gal/min. You may want to replace with a higher capacity filter.

Also, check your outside shower. It needs to be turned off at the knobs not just the push button on the wand.
