Totally agree, a booster pump can’t fix what’s already clogged up. I’ve seen folks drop serious cash on pumps, only to have the same sad trickle because their pipes are basically fossilized inside. Before jumping to a pump, I usually walk through a step-by-step check: start with the shower head and aerators, then branch lines, then main lines. Sometimes it’s just one bad valve or a sneaky kink in old flex lines causing all the grief.

Curious if anyone here has tried flushing old galvanized lines themselves? Did it actually help, or did you end up chasing leaks after? I’ve heard mixed results—sometimes it works, sometimes it opens a whole new can of worms...
