pressure

Ok so my husband and I were attempting to fill a pool (about 6000 gallons) we have been filling it slowly on and off over the last week and are at about 5000 gallons in. Yesterday we changed the whole house filter because the water pressure in the house was slowing down. Then started filling...

I have finished setting up a shower and this is what the plumbing in the wall looks like. The issue I have is a lack of pressure from the banks of body sprays. They should get around 2 gpm per head but instead appear to be getting 1.1 gpm causing very weak sprays. Also the Top sprays appear to...

Hello all I have one of those single hole water dispenser faucets. They all seems to be sold as a replacement faucet for a filtration system. My question is whether they require a pressure reduction or are they strong enough to be installed right off the shut off. In other words, can I just...

Complicated question here but I’ll start: we have a well that feeds our Main house, (over 1 inch line, unsure) then goes to 3/4 in the basement, two filters and a neutralizer, then out running 3/4 line 225 ft winding uphill to a cottage. Pressure issue is up there. a guy dug the whole thing...

Hello all! First time poster, here. I've searched the forum and couldn't find my situation although I may have missed it. I just moved into a house built in 2011. City Water. During the home inspection, the inspector noticed a reduction in pressure/flow when the water is in use, especially...

Muni water supply in small CO mountain town is about 50 PSI now, in winter. It will rise to 180 PSI spikes a lot with spring melt and continue until fall when it again slowly diminishes. Installed a pressure reducer to save fixtures. The incoming 3/4 galvanized pipe is also corroded so volume is...

Hey everyone, I have a small plumbing shop in southern CA. Regarding single family detached residence . Municipal city water supply, no well water involved. I keep noticing inch and a quarter pressure regulators installed from the builder, BUT the water meter is only 1 inch. I have also...

Need help in figuring out a drain for a water softener that I would like to have a plumber install in a new home being built. I have a loop for a water filter (along with a 20amp electrical) that will be installed. The whole house water filter is a Aquasana (model EQ-AST-WH) that I chose just...

I had a Navien NPE-240A installed a few weeks ago. It replaced an 11 year old 40 gallon storage tank that could not handle peak demand (4 adults, 2 kids all showering in the evening). I was taking lukewarm showers on a regular basis, sometimes even cold showers... It's working well and...

4 zones total on a Rainbird system. 2 zones are perfect and my pressure gauge runs at 40psi. 1 zone is not working and no resistance on the solonoid so pretty obvious there. Lastly, zone 2 is releasing some water but very low pressure at a shaky 20psi and can hardly lift a sprinkler head. Pump...

Hi guys, In trying to get the shower working I turned on the water inlet to the boilers, we have 2, in the house. The plumber came out and said I had blown both release valves although there was no flooding of the property. Is it possible to have blown them by opening the inlet and from what...

Hello. First time posting, I searched for my question and didn't find anything. My house has terrible water pressure. I am on a well. The pressure tank gives good pressure and even the first hose outlet off the main before entering the house is good. But everything after the pipe enters the...

I just replaced my Zurn-Wilkins 1-NR3XLDU 1" Pressure Reducing Valve as it was 12 years old and I wasn't happy with the pressure regulation. It would drop by as much as 10 psi from a 50psi set point depending on water flow. We're talking 2-1/2GPM from one shower, or 5GPM from two. This didn't...

Hi all, Thanks in advance for any help here. We are doing a bathroom remodel and I feel like everyone I talk to gives me a different answer--even employees at the same plumbing supply store. I'm hoping to arrive at some sort of consensus. Our bathroom is completely torn apart, but here is a...

What would cause low pressure in 4 zones - 1, 2, 4 and 6 (entire front yard and zone 6 in the back of the house)? Water barely trickles out of each sprinkler head in these zones, but pressure is fine in zones 3 and 5. There are 3 anti-siphon values (see attached drawing indicated by v v in...

For those that may have not been following my previous post. i am in bit of a pickle and need some advice. flash forward to recent events: i have a 405 ft 6" deep well with tag stating a yield of 1 gpm ... 20 gallon pressure tank with an original 40/60 pressure setup Two months ago.... we...

I’m having a strange problem with a shallow well pump I recently installed. I also pulled and replaced the driven pipe and point. The pump primes right up to 50 PSI and will hold indefinitely. On the discharge side I have a 1” tee which transitions to a 3/4” PVC line which then is reduced down...

I have a 2 acre pond ..Leaking ... almost half filed during summer.IN winter it is fine ... Wanted to run water to top it off. first was thinking of drilling a well... second to hydro frack mt well so it gets more water.... I did put a new 1 Hp ( replaced 1;2 HP ) pump in the 175 foot deep ...

Hi. I have a plumbing question. I have never posted a plumbing question before but this seemingly simple problem has me lost. I have recently noticed very low water pressure in sinks and external hose bibs. I have great pressure for the first 20 seconds, basically until the expansion tank on...

Started happening very recently. Even worse with hot water. The rest of the house is fine, and we "just" replaced this faucet about 2 years ago. What could be the issue?
