Default Water Pressure Change - What's Up With That

Is anyone else in The Villages experiencing water pressure change? My water pressure starts out just fine and then in the middle of washing clothes or a shower, it changes to almost a dribble.

What village are you in? Have not seen this in Pinellas. Is there something else in your house cycling, washer, dishwasher, toilet? Next I would call home warranty, or water company.

Could be an EPA thing. Heard they were going to start restricting our showers to 3 minutes (cold too).

Here is an old thread that suggests they are filling the water towers????


Also all those snowbirds are here showering.


How's the water pressure?

If it is *only* the shower, I would try removing the shower head and see if there's junk in the water or shower head.

That's why the Nova filters have pressure gauges so it readily apparent.
