4 months ago I had a new submersible pump installed,(piping, gauges, the whole 9 yards). Things were fine for a while then my inside pressure dropped. I irrigate my acre overnight each night and can use my outdoor shower without any problems, the pressure is great. Only at my indoor showers, and sinks is the pressure quite low.

It's a restriction somewhere. It could be a number of things. Check valve stuck or installed backwards, Foreign material in the line, Collapsed line, line kinked or bent, or just smaller piping. If you put a pressure gauge on your inside piping you could tell if it was low pressure or a restriction. If it is a restriction you will have good pressure but little flow.

it is gonna be difficult...in view that ur water-line coming from street is okay and all u can do is from the close off valve (lever type or knob type) Lever type in my opinion is greater useful because of the fact while it is open u comprehend its open. As for the knob type- after 20 yrs. they get caught. and u do no longer comprehend what place the gate is in. this manner of problem demands mindset of removing. If the gate problem is eradicated, than the problem is a blockage interior the availability line. the hardship shoot now could be u ought to discover the place the blockage is. utilising compress air or opposite flushing is the main suitable answer to ur problem. stable luck. because of the fact u ought to shrink the availability line to back flush and can require u to circulate below residing house or attic to discover the place the hardship is. yet another element i like to point is make advantageous ur tension regulator is working earlier u conflict by all that because of the fact if some a million mess with the adjustment, it would shrink the flow lots as to shrink off the water.

tank may be water logged. Drain tank and pump in air pressure about 60 pounds. Then turn pump back on. Should have plenty of pressure

Do you have a water softener? If so, I'll bet the inlet screen is plugged.
