    Pulsating water problems
    Bought a brand new home last year. We have city water not on a well. The water pulsates constantly especially in the shower and always has.Questioned the builder on this and as usual they said oh it will go away in 6 months. Well its been over a year our water pressure is very low and we get a pink sediment that fills the toilet bowls constantly within a few days of cleaning them. Does anybody know what to do??

    Only in the shower? Pulsating is usually indicative of a bad PRV.
