Low water pressure or low water flow?

I am trying to wrap up a few issues with the house. We have a relatively nice house (ie not terribly cheaply built, 25 yrs old), but we have a strange problem that has become bad lately. It is either low water pressure or low water flow. Some facts - If I am taking a shower and someone turns on some water faucet, even not too much, the flow drops dramatically - It applies to both hot and cold water SNIP Ask neighbors if they have same problem. As suggested, get the softener out of the circuit. If there is a "Bypass" arrangement, make sure it is Open. Your 30psi gauge may go off scale, but a gauge set up the way you describe is a good test. Any chance the supply piping in the house is galv iron? Is there a pressure reducing valve on the water service? Jim |
