    Lost water pressure (trailer)
    Hi all,

    After a freeze up and we got the water reestablished we lost most of our water pressure through the trailer for the bathroom faucets, kitchen, and washing machine. The bathtub pressure remains the same though and all the pipes feed off the same line. I am perplexed as to how to troubleshoot this problem and if there is anything I can do..? :eek: My mom is on a fixed budget and I am trying to fix this for her... HELP...

    Start by removing the aerators (see picture... unscrews clockwise) from the faucets and cleaning them. Then remove the hoses from the washing machine and the washing machine valve (faucets) and clean the screen(s) that may be present.

    Try these things and let us know if pressure improves... ;)

    With a freeze did you split a pipe? You may have water leaking. If your running all off one pump disconnect one line a time. Test your pressure.
