    No, I don't want to look at azz crack. Let just get that out of the way right now.

    I have a low water pressure issue that has seemed to gotten worse over the weekend. I'm going to look tonight at my water meter to make sure I don't have any leaks in my system. I've got an older house (1942) and it's always had pretty crappy water pressure in the year that we've owned it. The classic issue if a sink is running, the water pressure in the shower drops. Now the shower is acting like that all the time even when nothing else is going. It also seems to only be the shower and the utility sink in the basement. Maybe that can be a clue to someone. Last Friday it was running like it always has, but now taking a shower is a challenge.

    I need some help with water pressure issues too. Mine are just my outside faucets they can barely run a cheap sprinkler and for the past few years it has gotten worse. *house is only 5 years old. Please help Ryan first as he needs a shower more than I need green grass:)

    Im no expert but my bro could come out and look at what needs to be done. He does those kind of jobs when he needs the money. He could usually fix most things he runs into. PM your #'s

    I want to personally thank Gridlocked. I took off my showerhead and the filter/spout part was clogged with ****. Cleaned that up and BAM! More water pressure then when I bought the house.

    Now for Ben. Did that idea I gave you work?

    are you guys running well systems or city water? if city water could possibly be a clog in the line or some sort of build up in one of the lines since the house is so old.

    If it is a well system check your pump or your pressure tank.

    Glad to hear you can shower again. I would have held off on calling you if you couldn't shower.

    Ryan-Haven't tried yet I have been busy plaing with my new toy. Thanks again you have some great taste I'm loving it.

    Josh-I'm on plain ol Blaine city water and they(Blaine) tell me that thats just the way it is since pressure is good in the house. Not too worried about it now after all the rain we had the grass will stay green for the rest of this year.
