City - maybe due to use during peak usage time. Try using the shower at a different time and see if it is still a problem.

Well - due to recharging or capacity of your bladder tank.

How does air pressure affect speed of a human?

Yes, it does affect our speed while we are running because if there is more air pressure the force of the pressure is against us and so we slow down while we are running.


Why does the upper radiator hose have no pressure?

Under normal circumstances it will have some pressure just less than the bottom hose. The bottom hose is directly pressurized by the water pump while the upper hose acts as a return hose to keep the water flowing through the engine block. If there is no pressure you could be low on radiator fluid (water/anti freeze mixed) or have a thermostat stuck open.


What are the differences between high pressure and low pressure boilers?

Low pressure boilers work with pressure below 15 psi while high pressure boiler above 15 psi


What is the relationship between depth and water?

Water pressure increases as depth increases.


How do Submersibles work?

While it's easy to push on water, it's hard to pull on water. When you drink soda through a straw, you may feel like you're pulling on the water, but you're not. What you are actually doing is removing some air from the space inside the straw and above the water, so that the air pressure in that space drops below atmospheric pressure. The water column near the bottom of the straw then experiences a pressure imbalance: the usual atmospheric pressure below it and less-than-atmospheric pressure above it. That imbalance provides a modest upward force on the water column and pushes it up into your mouth. So far, so good. But if you make that straw longer, you'll need to suck harder. That's because as the column of water gets taller, it gets heavier. It needs a more severe pressure imbalance to push it upward and support it. By the time the straw and water column get to be about 40 feet tall, you'll need to suck every bit of air out from inside the straw because the pressure imbalance needed to support a 40-foot column of water is approximately one atmosphere of pressure. If the straw is taller than 40 feet, you're simply out of luck. Even if you remove all the air from within the straw, the atmospheric pressure of the water below the straw won't be able to push the water up the straw higher than about 40 feet. To get the water to rise higher in the straw, you'll need to install a pump at the bottom, or a submersible pump. The pump increases the water pressure there to more than 1 atmosphere, so that there is a bigger pressure imbalance available and therefore the possibility of supporting a taller column of water. The submersible pump can boost the water pressure well above atmospheric and thereby push the water to the surface despite the great height and weight of the water column. Multiple stage submersible pumps are arranged in series so that the discharge from the first stage becomes the intake for the next stage with each successive stage adding its pressure to the previous one. Surface suction pumps are really only practical for water that's a few feet below the surface; after that, deep pressure pumps are a much better idea.

What causes variable hot water temperatures while a shower is running and no other water is running?

means you are running out of hot water


How important is the well mate pressure tank in a well system?

It takes the pressure off the pump running continuously while the water is being used. It is mainly a holding and pressure tank between the pump and the fixtures. They are good for keeping the pressure up when you are having a shower.

What is another word for running water?

The meaning of running water is that the water is moving and not standing still. Running water is what comes out of a faucet while water in a bowl is just called water.


Do you have a solution to stop the drop in water pressure when using shower and flushing toilet?

Increase your main line pipe size. When you have a small pipe installed, and while you showering the toilet is flushed it has to distribute the amount of water running in the pipes, resulting in the drop in pressure. Once you have increased the pipe size, you'll notice that the extra volume of water will accommodate for the extra water needed to fill the cystern while showering, therefore fixing the problem with a drop in pressure.


Why would you lose water pressure when you have no water running anywhere else?

You must have a leak somewhere. If you are on a well check the pressure tank, make sure there is adequate air pressure. ( check at nipple on top, should be in excess of 25 psi) Check the pipe to well. Listen carefully at the well while pump is running. If there is a leak in the down pipe or lower check valve you will hear water hissing. If none of these ideas work, post again and be more specific about your system.


Is it good to drink water while running?

yes of course

9 to 13 LBS. No higher are lower are you will have starting and running problems.


How can you reduce your water bill?

Don't leave the water running while you brush your teeth. Drink cool bottled water instead of running the tap to get it cool.


Do you say when you were running or while you were running?

They mean different things. "When" = "at the time that." "While" = "during the time that." Did you lose weight when you were running every day? You must carry water with you when you are running long distances. I have a chance to enjoy the scenery along the trail while I am running on the hiking path. It is hard to carry on a conversation while you are running.
