Hi All.
I am currently having problems with the water pressure in both of my water spigots. To start I called the water company and they tested the pressure for the house from the main line. Main line is great and it's averaging over 26gpm. I live in a ranch home and there is one spigot in the front and back. They're on each side of my living room. Underneath my living room is a crawl space where the piping is ran.
Seems that the copper piping start from a shut off valve and then gets split and the piping goes to each spigot. The shut off valve is just for these pipes in the crawl space. Not sure where the piping runs from the shut off valve as it's going through the walls and what not. Right now both spigots lets out maybe 3gpm. This should be minimum 6gpm but more like 8-9gpm i'm told. I had a plumber come over and he wanted to run a new pipe directly from the main line going to my water heater. I don't think this is the problem. Cannot really follow the piping
Not sure where to start but trying not to make this a bigger project then it is. Any suggestions would be great!
