    Variable water pressure-goes up high and then low?
    It is just happen recently the water pressure goes up high and then comes down low and high and low to no water for a minute or two. It gets more serious now.

    Maybe two month ago, plumber replace a piece of the broken underground pipe. And few weeks later a lot of yellow water out from the facet. The water test result was just too much iron, but few days later the yellow water was gone. For your information, we have well tank and water softer.
    What problem it might be happen? Am I able to fix it by myself?

    Thanks you!

    First, BY-PASS the water softener by pushing the by-pass valve in opposite direction to where it is now. See if the problem persists...
