I recently installed a main water line on my property. 3/4 poly pipe.
The trailer and outside spicket are sharing the same tee.
The water pressure is low on trailer and outside spicket when using both. Any ideas? change configuration ?

if your system didnt change than it could be due to the pipe. if it is bigger in diameter than the pressure will be lower, if the pipe is thinner than the pressure will be higher. think of it like a water hose, when you bend it than the water comes out faster and shoots farther. when you let it go then it will just shoot out a couple of feet. im not sure if that answers your question, but im not sure what the diameter of the pipe was before you changed it

check the main line then call the water company and explain your problem and check the water filter
