I have had some experience with this, so I'll tell you where I would start. First, the regulator. It has moving parts inside. If the community water comes from a well, most likely minerals and rust in the water have restricted the movement of the internal parts. Plus the orifice could be partially plugged with this crud also. I don't know exactly what your check valve looks like, but a swinging gate check valve will provide less resistance to flow. Now the cut off valve. If it's not a ball valve, I would replace it with one. Also the one under the house. There are other things which could cause problems. Is the water main overloaded? (lot of new taps in recent years) Oneof their valves just barely open?If you have good pressure when you first open a faucet and then it suddenly drops, you have a restriction someplace. MY first guess is that regulator. I think I remember a strainer being plugged with rust also. I hope this helps. E-mail if you want to. Thanks. MT. Pockets.
