    water pressure issue?

    thank you all....the problem has been solved!! There is one piece of galvanized steel(a fitting) that plugged %99 changed the fitting out for a plastic one and after I ran some "coffee" out of the system all is good, better water pressure than I have had in 10 years. Again thank you all.
