    Low pressure in 1 bathroom but not in the other
    Hi,

    We have a house with 2 full bathrooms with city water. The master bathroom has a very good pressure (through the spat with both faucets opened) but the guest bathroom has low pressure (through the spat with both faucets opened). Anything that I can do to fix this? I would think both should be the same.

    Thanks, Alpe

    It sounds like you're losing volume in the supplies in the guest bathroom. The first I would do is shut the water off to the house and remove bothy angle stops. You should now have two pipes coming out of the wall. Place a bucket in front of the pipes and have someone turn the water back on for a minute to flush out both supplies. You should have a strong stream out of both. Reassembly and try it now. Good luck, Tom

My water pressure comes on strong but quickly deteriorates. It is the same no matter what faucet you use. I checked the tank pressure it is at 60 then when you run the water it drops to 34 and holds there. It takes about 3 minutes to go back up to 60 after I shut the water off. Any suggestions...
