    Sorry to bother someone with this question but I need a little help. I live out in the mountians, I have a submersable well, from the well its tied in to the fresh water in-let to the trailer, from there to a water filtering system, from there to a water softener, from the softener to the water heater from the water heater to the hot and cold lines to the house. Okay here's the problem. The hot water runs real good in the house but the cold water barely trickles out. Not sure what's going on

    Do you have low cold water pressure in the entire house or just one or two taps? Back to you. Tom

    Most of the cold water taps just barely drip. There's just two that flow but even those ones still flow slow not like the hot ones all the hot taps have good pressure

    Try this. Shut the water off to one of the taps and pull the cartridge, Check the inlet ports for trash and clean. Now place a pan over the open valve and turn the cold water back on for a minute to flush out the supply. You should have a strong stream when doing so. Reassemble and test. If that works do it on all affected taps, good luck, Tom
