I just notched that when I turn on my facuts or even shower, that the first few seconds, the water kind of comes out very strong and then it weakens to a normal low pressure like flow. The flow isn't horrible or anything, but I wish it would come out like the first few seconds the whole time. What is that? And is it anything I need to be worried with?


Thanks!

Did this just start happening? Hot, cold, or both?

Just started happening a few days ago.. seems to be both I think..

Is it bad?

Would seem something is obstructing the flow. What you are experiencing is the pressure bleeds off, and there is not enough flow to maintain the initial pressure.

Do you have a water filter? If so, it may be time to change the element. City water, or well? If city, have them check your input pressue and flow. If well, you may be seeing the onset of a problem with the water supply, the pump, or the captive air tank.

Are you valves on all the way? Any pipes or hoses kinked?
