    Low water pressure for the past few days
    Hi

    We have a 5 year old house and the water pressure in the entire house (showers, tubs, taps) has reduced quite a bit in the last few days. I had fixed a leaking tub/shower faucet (Delta Monitor) a couple of weeks before. I had to shut off the main water valve for that. I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.
    Where should I start looking to troubleshoot this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.
