low pressure

So we have very hard water. Learned most of our plumbing skills by trial and error. Here's my issue. We installed a new .5HP submersible well pump. It will not build up pressure above like 16-17psi. Pressure tank is only 3 weeks old so that's not it. Bought a new 20/40 Pressure switch...

having a issue with a home here in San Antonio. Homeowner turns on garden tub and kitchen sink faucet loses fair amount of pressure. I initially jumped to the PRV due to symptoms. I already bypassed water softener before changing PRV. Changed PRV, set psi to 75. Still losing volume once tub is...

Hi all. First of all, thank you all for this forum. I've come across this forum tens of times while searching for plumbing answers, and the information has always been an immense help. This is my first post. A few weeks ago I have my pitless adapter replaced. Since then, I have had intermittent...

I have a Wilkins 975xl backflow preventer. It is removed every winter and passes its test before every spring. That said - my sprinkle output is very weak. Each time I run the sprinklers I have to shut off the water coming from the Wilkins and open the three relief valves. This can be done...
