    This is a volume problem, pure and simple. Pump or city water? How old is your house? What type of pipes do you have? If on city water call them and ask if any work on the main was done while you were gone, also ask what the main PSI is out in the street. Do you have a PRV,(Pressure Reducing Valve) installed if on city water? Let me know, tom
