I am having a terrible issue with water pressure in my trailer. We are on county water and whenever you turn on the hot it runs with a decent amount of pressure for about 15 seconds then slows to a trickle. The cold water has also diminished to a bigger trickle, but a trickle nonetheless. At random times the pressure seems to be OK. More often though, it is terrible.
We moved here last summer and the place had previously only been used on the occasional summer weekend by my in-laws, every year they would drain everything and winterize. So the hot water tank was not used much. We replaced the water regulator when we moved in and the pressure was OK but not what we had in our other place. The water company came out last week and told me the pressure from their end was at 145 which he said was very strong. We have an outdoor spigot between the regulator and the house that works well, so it is when it reaches the house that we have a problem.
So I wonder if the Pvc pipes have sediment in them or if it is a problem with the hot water tank. If it's the tank, would that have an effect on the cold water flow? And how do I determine if it is the pipes or the tank?
