    High and low water pressure
    Hi, My water pressure in my house has recently changed, when I turn on the water whether hot or cold it keeps on coming out for a few seconds with the normal pressure then the pressure drop a lot for a few seconds... then it goes up again for a few seconds and then back down again for a few second... up and down like it is taking turns with high pressure and then low pressure... Does anyone know why that is happening all of a sudden?

    Hi, I am living in a rented apartment for the last 30 years or so, as far as I know all that there is, is a hot water heater in the next door apartment. I just assumed that my water is being piped in from the city pipes from the street. I wish I knew more about plumbing to help out who is trying to help me, but unfortunately I don't... sorry about that... But thanks for trying to help me out, I appreciate it.
