low water pressure

I had a low water pressure problem in a mobile home once. The pvc pipes in
the system were  built up with calcium so there was only a tiny opening,  kind
of like ones arteries after too many supersized Big Macs and  fries.
I replaced the pipe and the problem was gone.
That was a simple plumbing system, more than likely  yours will be a
problem with a mechanical component but if all else fails check  the pipes.
Good Luck

Steve and list,

If indeed you determine that your PVC pipes are clogged with calcium
build up, a cheaper fix would to buy a couple of gallons of White
Vinegar and fill the system pipes using your house water pump.  Let the
vinegar set for a day or two and flush with warm water.
