Happy Wednesday!
We purchased a home with well/septic about 3 years ago. Everything seemed fine the first year. Since then we have had water pressure issues. At the recommendation of plumbers we have replaced the bladder, pressure valve, installed new tank-less water heater, under house filters, and we run hose water/vinegar to flush the system about every 3 months. The pump has been checked and said its is working correctly. We don't seem to have a well water level issue as the bladder fills up as it should. Pressure pump gauge shows good pressure when it should.
The water pressure is still lower than it should be and less than it was when we purchased the house. If the washing machine is on the kitchen sink will only have very light stream of water. Its is very frustrating that I cant do normal kitchen "things" when washer on. The water pressure outside the house seems low also. Again, this is different from when we purchased the home so somethings seems to have changed about a year after the purchase.
Every plumber that has come out says we have lots of fine black jack and have to clear filter often when we do and have installed better filters. They also all seem stumped and agree water pressure seems lower than it should be. There is however some improvement when filters are clean/water vinegar ran although still not back where is used to be.
Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions on what it could be or possible solutions.
