Check the shower head and clean and flush it. It may just be a little particle of junk in the head restricting your flow
when the water pressure is low in the shower
Ferrous metal piping
If it's a bladder tank, it should always have "Air" pressure but if the pump isn't working, you still wouldn't have water in the house.
Possibly a pressure reducing valve installed after piping for first faucet, which would cause situation describing.
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
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.
Generally it is about 55 psi . The best way to set it is have a water pressure valve installed on the incoming water line to your house. Too much pressure can cause serious damage to appliances. Water hammer is a comon cause of too much pressure Any Questions e-mail jdroegem@comcast.net
yes and no. usually you want your psi between 65 and 80. otherwise it will cause you problems!!
It will not cause low water pressure. It will cause a loss of heated water because the heater will not be able to recover fast enough. It has nothing to do with pressure.
Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.
how do i increase water pressure to the house if you have city water?
There may be air trapped in the pipes. Open every faucet and spigot in the house, and let the water run for at least 1 minute. This may stop the madness.
