    Well water pressure not what it was a month ago
    We have a well system that is 6 years old. Our water pressure has always been good. Lately though, whenever my tub is running at the same time as my washer or dishwasher the pressure subsides substantially until the washer is through filling and/or dishwasher is through with it's cycle. The same is true with all of our faucets. They lose pressure and water flow when another water source is flowing. What is suddenly different?

    Do you have a filter/softener on the system?

    Please answer jlisenbe's question. If you have a filter, change it. If you have a softner, put it on bypass. Let us know what you find.

    I apologize for taking so long to get back, It turned out to be the filter even though we had recently changed it. The new filter was defective. So strange.
