Twice now we have had water pressure lose after we have been got for a few days. I have no or little water at the kitchen sink. My husband did turn the water off in the whole house the first time and when we got home , no water. This time he did not turn off the water. We get our water from a well on the farm. At first we thought it was a problem with the bladder in the pressure tank, but it has worked for over a month until now. We also have a double filter system that the water goes through from the pressure tank to the faucet , could this be the problem. At one time he chnAged the filters and didn't get them in right and we had little or no water.

First step is to check the pressure at the tank and see if you have pressure. If you do, then try using the bypass on the filter and see if that gets you water.

Try removing the filters, he got it wrong once but maybe twice. Is it only an issue in the kitchen?

No, it is in the bathroom also. Kast evening I was filling the bathtub and flushed the toilet and the water going into the tub decreased by at lease half.

Start by removing the filters to see if that increases your volume. This is not a pressure issue, its volume restriction

That's not all that unusual for a well system. BG is correct in that you need more volume of water.

Are you losing water altogether, or just less volume/pressure at times?

At times it does stop altogether, but mostly less water. The bathroom faucets and the kitchen faucets and the basement shower all go through the in house filter, the drinking water does not, but the drinking water faucet also has low water. Last nigth the shower was low, but the kitchen faucet was at a normal flow. I give up

How did those things go?

My husband finally bypassed the filters and the pressure went up to 56, where as before with the water running it went down to about 33. He went to the store to get new filters now. So hopefully this solves the problem. Evetently the filters have to be in just so (maybe this time he will wear his glasses :)) Thank you so much for your help.
