I returned from working out of town for about five weeks. First day, I had tons of water pressure, both cold and hot. I now have about one fifth or less as much cold water. Hot is unchanged and fine. All cold water fixtures in the house are affected.
I have a well. Submersible pump, pressure switch, check valves, and shut-off valves are one year old. I drained the bottom of the pressure tank and water heater to see if there was sediment. Checked tank for air pressure. I am showing plenty of pressure on the tank gage. Also cleaned all the aerators and dishwasher/washer/icemaker screens. Ran all taps, both hot and cold and cycled all shutoff valves several times in case they were clogged. There are no filters or water-conditioning equipment in the system. Still only minimal cold water and plenty of hot. Cold pressure is low even if hot is not in use. Cold water goes from pump to pressure tank. Shutoff valve after tank. Then there is a T that splits between the water heater and the cold water feed. There is a shutoff into and out of the heater. I closed both to isolate the heater - still wimpy cold water. I am stumped!
Any suggestions.
