    Varying water pressures through out new house ?
    My husband and I bought a brand new house in 2007. :)
    The city utilities come in from the street and where they meet the house, we have a main shut off and an outdoor faucet. At that particular faucet, the pressure is very weak. A sprinkler will bring a water fan about waist high. :( (Across the street, it is about 10ft tall !!) :confused:
    Also, at the kitchen sink, the cold water pressure is at little more than a trickle. The hot water at the same sink and the hot & cold everywhere else through out the house is ok...any ideas? :confused:

    What kind of pressure do you call "OK"? Is it as gfood as your neighbors? If you lost pressure in the entire house starting at the outside hose bib I would suppect the water service. However, since you say pressure's "OK" every where else that puts the blame on the individual valves themselves. So I ask again, What kind of pressure do you call "OK"? Regards, Tom

    Well, I guess you're right. I don't know if it compares to that of the neighbors. I was saying "OK" 'cuz it was what I would consider an average water flow.
