water pressure

About 8 months ago I purchased a house (2 stories plus basement) built in the early 1990's with a (functioning) pressure reducing valve. Water pressure coming into the house is about 110 psi and the PRV is set to about 60 psi. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed poor water pressure in our...

I have a closed system with a MoenFlo and a LifeSource filter and two tankless water heaters with no expansion tanks. Home was built new 10 years ago, high end custom, and used as a second home. No one living in home. We have observed 3 problems via MoenFlo data that have stumped our plumber...

I am a new homeowner and am learning the ropes. We have a tankless coil water heater on our oil furnace. The hot water pressure in the entire house leaves a lot to be desired and has gotten worse as of late. I suspect the coils need to be cleaned and I'll get to that as soon as I can. However...

I’m trying to determine if I need to replace my water pressure regulator. It is 8 years old and is a Zurn 1 and 1/4 inch. About a year ago I started regularly testing my pressure (weekly) and it never tests above 80 though it usually sticks around 75-80. The pressure set screw on the regulator...

One of the sink faucets in my bathroom started dripping last night, however, it stopped when I turned on the shower. Then it happened again this morning. So I turned on the shower again and it did stopped. Anyone knows what is going on here?

Good Afternoon! I have been having an issue with my water pressure in my house for about a year now. It seems to have started last year when I noticed my shower and sink water pressure started to die down and went from full pressure to probably 1/2 to 1/4 pressure with water just "spilling" out...

I'm negotiating a contract for a home purchase. This is a three-floor townhouse with a basement. During the inspection, every fixture--3.5 BA and kitchen--showed great pressure and volume, with the exception of the master shower. (The master bath tub and sinks, which are adjacent to the shower...

My family purchased a new home a few years ago. This issue has always been present, but I'm finally getting around to figuring out the issue. Our water heater is in our basement and our bathtubs are on the second floor (2 floors up). If we try to fill the tubs with hot water quickly, the...

I'm considering a Delta kitchen faucet that claims to offer 1.8 GPM based on 60 PSI. The pressure where our outside pipe (from a drilled well) enters the house is 44 PSI. Will this lower pressure have a significant impact on the flow of water from the faucet? Thank you.

Hey folks! I'm a total noob when it comes to plumbing and so I thought I'd seek help from people who actually know a thing or two about plumbing. I recently replaced the disposal unit under my sink. The replacement process went without a hitch but when I ran the sink afterwards, the water...

About a month back had plumber / engineer replace flow switch on Worcester Bosch oil boiler as it was leaking. I had a SureStop switch fitted some time ago due to mobility issues. Always worked perfectly. When he went to switch water back on it it was only trickling from the kitchen tap and then...

Hello, I have recently replaced the pipes in my VERY small home. I cut the line just after the water meter and line that runs to the yard(outside, i needed this to have atleast some water while i did this project. As soon as it was cut I capped it was going to be a slow project (water to house...

I have a cheap faucet in the kitchen and it’s getting slower and slower by the day. Problem is, it’s brand new. Well, the guy I bought the house from put it in right before we moved in and said he got it from Home Depot. Even with the aerator off it’s still pretty slow. Any suggestions before I...

I am going to plumb the house I built soon. I will be running water lines to a on demand hot water heater, a steam generator, a shower, a tub and 2 sinks. My questions is it better to have one line for H and C that branches off via T connectors to all the above or use a manifold with a separate...

I need some ideas. My contractor's plumber and the city permit guy don't seem to know what to do and I don't have the money for questionable guys to run up a bill for no reason. We had a cast iron tub which worked fine for 30 yrs. Then we got flooded and decided to put in a jacuzzi...
