    Lost my water pressure in my home
    Water tank broke I changed it to a brand new one from home depot. After I changed it I did not have too much water pressure in my main bath you turn bath tub on it comes out very slow you turn sink on to hardly any water. I was told the line is probably plugged I pulled the facets nothing blocking it I disconnected the hot water tank from the manifold put a wire up there nothing came out so I went and ran new lines straight to the bath tub off the manifolds buy them self's it did not change any thing can you help

    Hi Afilliol

    What kind of tank? A hot water tank, a bladder tank for a well system, what? If this is a bladder tank then the bladder tank needs to be pressurized to 2LBS below the cut on pressure setting of the pressure switch.

    If you are talking about a well system bladder tank, check out this link and scroll down to the post by HKSTROUD:

    As much as that thread is about excessive pressure it still applies to you in setting proper pressure to your well system (if you have a well).

    Otherwise, let us know more info. here, OK?

    Could you tell us what you mean when you say that your old tank "broke".
