Water Pressure Problem

[Orren Zook]

Where should I look to improve the inside pressure? My ourside Chicago faucett runs relatively slow also. I really don't expect super pressure but it's in need of improvement.

Do you use an inline pressure regulator on your supply hose, if so I'd look there first.

Lew, we neglected to put a plug in the hose hookup when not in use and either a bug used it for a cacoon or some kid shoved leaves in it.

The first thing on that line is a 1-way valve, then the regulater.

That 1-way valve was clogged up, and also was easily removed and cleaned.

Do you get better pressure if you run your pump? If so it could be a similar problem. If not I might try a different fixture or you did check the screen on the fixture?

Yo Orren, took me a while to figure out what happened to Lews original question:rolleyes: For the benifit of the rest, its posted on stuff for sale or trade.

That was very organized of you. Very Good :D

Lewster,

I was experiencing low pressure and found out is was the main water filter that was changed about a year ago. Will change now every 6 months as it made all the difference.
