    Is there pressure at the pump, how many lbs pressure does it provide.
    At some point there is really no other choice than changing lines.
    When I bought my home here in GA, it is 40 or less years old the pressure was almost none in the back of home. So I merely pulled the old pipes and replaced them. My son and I did it in one day.
