    Low Pressure issue- i'm stumped

    Thanks - that makes sense. I took your advice and put a gauge just after the meter, it reads 80psi. When I draw water anywhere in the house it drops to near zero. So sounds like i have an issue upstream. I did notice that the shut off valve before the meter in the metal pipe is very old and...

    Low Pressure issue- i'm stumped

    That has not been replaced. Really hoping that isn’t my issue. But trying to figure out how to eliminate all other possibilities before it comes to that. Not sure how to determine if that needs replaced.

    Low Pressure issue- i'm stumped

    Low Pressure issue- i'm stumped

    I'm rehabbing a home with one 2nd floor bathroom. The bathroom had terrible water pressure if any one fixture was running, and the shower always had bad pressure. When the walls were open I realized the whole home was running off 1/2 pipe. I replaced everything with 3/4 inch from the meter...
