If you are on a well it means you have a problem in the pressure tank. On city water means pressure in general is down, or your PRV is failing.

How do you check water pressure at faucet?
If your water pressure is low at all faucets, you can buy a gauge to fit faucets threaded for garden hose, they are about $10. You pressure should be 40-55psi. If pressure is low at all faucets, you may have a faulty PRV. This is the bell shaped regulator usually fitted where the water enters the building. A plumber can change these easily. Part costs about $60 and takes an hour to change -I do many and they are usually simple to change. If the pressure is low at just one faucet then remove and change the aerator. If that doesn't fix the problem you have a blockage in the shut off valve below it.
What is low vapor pressure?
Vapor pressure refers to the force exerted by gaseous molecules of a liquid. Usually this is measured in a closed system. For example, in a water bottle some H2O molecules are able to move from liquid to gas phase at room temperature. The molecules that do this create vapor pressure. Low vapor pressure is usually observed in substances that have a low boiling point or if it is being held at a low temperature.

What will cause low water pressure on a residential house with a well?
There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.
How do you correct low water pressure?
If it's the whole house, turn the screw clockwise at the PRV to increase the pressure. If it is something else, you would have to explain it more.
We have a well with a pressure pump. The water pressure is low all through the house and the water pressure pump is reading low. What is causing this. Can we fix it ourselves. Pump is only 7yrs old.?
You just need to adjust the pressure switch on the pump to your desired pressure...typically around 50 psi. Sometimes the springs in the pressure switch get old, and just need tightening.
