I have built a bathroom and kitchen in my hunting cabin. The water was just a light stream out of all faucets. So I installed a pump to increase the pressure. However, that did not help. I have checked lines, aerator, faucets, used 3/4 pvc. I had to run the lines up the wall, through the attic, then down the wall.

Do you not have good pressure at any faucet or the commode? If you don't have maybe you are having problems with the pump or pressure tank.

Give us some information on what you have done to find the problem besides install a pump.

Are you on community, city or well water at the cabin?

Sorry, I had to leave. This is the first time for me to use this site and did not expect replys so fast.

I have county water supply. I have three outside faucets and the pressure from them is fine. I haven't installed the commode yet. Just kitchen sink and shower. I put the pump inside a storage room just before entering the house.

Thanks for the reply.

You shouldn't need a booster pump with county water. Tell me, the line you cut into to install the booster pump, did it have good pressure? If this were my call I would go back to where I had county pressure and start disconnecting lines until the pressure dropped. Only when you find out the cause can you repair it. Let me know what you find. Tom

Put a pressure gauge on your outside spigot and tell us the reading, good ias around 45 psi
