Been dealing with some weird water pressure stuff lately, especially noticeable in the shower. You know how it is, one minute you're enjoying a nice steady stream, next minute it's like someone's squeezing the hose outside. Anyway, got me thinking about our water heater setup. Right now we've got a traditional tank heater, and I'm wondering if switching to tankless might help even things out.

I've heard tankless heaters can give you more consistent pressure since they're heating water on demand, but then again, I've also read some folks saying they notice fluctuations when multiple taps are running. On the flip side, our current tank heater is getting older anyway and might be part of the issue.

Curious what you guys think—stick with a new traditional tank or make the jump to tankless? If you've switched recently or have experience with both types, I'd love to hear your take on which gives better steady pressure overall.

Had similar issues myself recently—went tankless thinking it'd fix things, and yeah, it's great for endless hot water, but pressure-wise... eh, still a bit iffy if someone flushes or runs laundry. You checked your pipes or valves lately?
