    Replaced a water pump
    I just replaced my water pump. When I turn on all the faucets in my house the kitchen faucet just drips, both bathroom showers run okay, the sinks in each bathroom run but very low. All the faucets run clear for a few min. then have brown stuff coming out. What could be wrong now? Please help not sure what to do next.

    I am not a plumber -- but from the school of hard knocks it sounds like while replacing your pump
    Some of the scale that builds up in pipes broke lose and lodged in your valves and screens.

    That would be my guess. Open up the valves in question and check and clean the seats and inlet ports of the cartridge. While the valve's still open turn the water back on to each valve to flush out the branch and supply. Good luck, Tom

    I ended up calling an expert to fix my water. The new pump I put in was bad. The water is running good but it has a really bad smell to it, what would this smell be?
