Ok I unsuccessfully tried to install a water softener this evening. As soon as I got it hooked up my water pressure/flow went to nothing I bought the softener used so I figured I just wasted my money. So I unhooked the softener but still the same thing. I killed the well from the power box at the pump it was installed in the main water line about a foot after the storage tank. After I unhooked I put new piece of 3/4" pipe in with two 3/4" couplings it is PVC I have absolutely no idea what I could have done. Somebody please help it is to dark to see outside I couldn't see the gauge because it is wrapped with insulation in the crawl space and we are spending the night with essentially no water.

Sounds like you may have dislodged some minerals built up on the pipe walls and not it's clogging your system. Do you have a water filter installed? Have you pulled the aerators and checked the screens? Is the entire house pressure down? Both hot annd cold? What have yolu checked so far? Let's have more details. Regards, Tom

I do have a filter but there is no water going into it. Water has essentially stopped all together. I have no water coming out of the line before the filter. My garden house hookup has no water pressure either. There is just a lSoittle more pressure on the hot line than the cold the difference is almost negligible. So far all I have done is reset the well pump breaker.

Ok this morning I have pressure in my garden hookup which is before my water filter but after where I installed the softener, and then uninstalled the softener. I have no uninstalled my water filter it looked very muddy inside. Still no increase in pressure in the house but full pressure at the garden hose hookup it is a double wide so there is a transition from PVC main coming in to PEX I am almost betting blockage in the very first tee from the main is the washing machine cut off in the house and it has very little pressure as well. Also I ran a bath it took about an hour to run there was rock in the bottom of the tub. So my thoughts are maybe the water softener shot resin into the line? Or maybe where the plumbing comes to up to the house the elbow got clogged full? It sure sounded like water went rushing by when I turned the cut off back on 3 ways to cut off water inside the house in the pex under the house in the PVC and breaker for well pump I think I have eliminated problems with the well since I have full pressure from garden hose hook up.
