This is slightly OT but hey,with all of the OT post anyways.........heres the problem:From the start,many years ago our well dries up,Dad goes on the local water system,then it wasnt real expensive to get on,like 50 bucks.Years went by and I moved a single wide home onto the property some distance from my dads house,but close enough to "tap on" to his house for my water.I would pay him a portion of the water bill,help him out on projects and do odd jobs for him t ohelp wit hmy prtion of the bill,plus cause he was my dad and I loved being with him.Well he died and left me his home so I continued to live in the single wide with my wife and kids until we had remodeled the house.I began noticing while in the single wide,water pressure began dropping real bad,but only if we used two things,such as washing machine and sink at the same time.While it was noticeable before when youd do this it was getting worse.When we moved into the house I had hoped that by doing away wit hthe lines to the single wide that would help my pressure problem,it did but only slightly.We have just been putting up with it until now.Now,yesterday I just got fed up with it.At the meter I had ,the meter,then a cut off valve and then a regulator then the pipe to the house and another cutoff under the house.Now what I have is the meter,cutoof valve,double ball check valve,regualtor then pipe to house,underhouse nothing was changed,still just cutoff.We still have the same problem.got a guy from the water company coming out in the morning to help see if we can find the problem.But woulds like your suggestions before he gets here.the only reason Im wanting to correct this problem is I would like to run a line to my little outbuilding right behind the house to just run a small wash sink in there and dont want any problems there.I change the oil in my tractors there and my wife really gets mad when I come in to wash my hand while shes washing dishes.
