Low water pressure in duplex

Posted

Hi, 

We are about to close on a duplex. We had more inspections done and we noticed the water pressure is super light when multiple things are running. All the piping has been replaced. This seems like a big deal to me because the water was barely coming out of the shower head when two other faucets were running. I feel like that is something that tenants would definitely complain about. Is there an easy fix to this?

There may be a pressure regulator at or near the main shut off , it could be turned down too low , or the screen could be clogged . 

You can also call the water dept to do a pressure and flow test . 

If its a low pressure situation from the city , install a booster pump
