We want to install a whole-house water filtration system to remove chlorine and other stuff from water. Will this affect water pressure? it seems that any filtration system must put resistance to the water flow, so there must be some negative effect but how big is it? Also, are there any sort of "water pressure amplifiers" that could be installed in the house -- with a filtration system or not -- that would increase pressure? We already have an issue with low pressure in one shower, so we do not want to make the problem even worse. Thanks!

Remove the shower head and any faucet tip aerators and clean them, maybe in vinegar if there is hard water caused scale blocking flow.

Removal of chalorine on a whole house basis is not a good thing because of potentail bacteria growth. The better way is shower head and a drinking water filter under the sink with its own RO faucet.
