    Default water pressure issue

    sc ducks brain trust.

    i dont have the most water pressure at my office but it wont even spin the sprinkler.

    I called the city. They are coming out but I dont expect the fix is on their end.

    Any hacks to increase the pressure in the hose bib?
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    more importantly, how is that rinse thingy you hang in the patient's mouth working?

    You need a fluoride filter. All the fluoride in the water lines has clogged up your pipes.

    Contact the other guy with the extra 19k of unexplained water. That should boost your spray thingy!
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    There's probably a pressure valve somewhere. It would look something like this...but don't adjust it without a pressure meter because you might start blowing connections. They'll come adjust it for you, I think normal residential pressure is between 40 and 60 psi. I am not a plumber...but I just hate paying them so I do what I can myself...

    Just hook your sprinkler hose to the neighboring suite’s hose bib. Problem solved. Lol

    How old and what kind of pipe material is going to and in your building ? If it's old enough to be galvanized it could be about grown shut and time for some new plumbing. Could be a possible leak on your side somewhere or possibly a city issue.

    You think he really knows the answers to these type of questions? He's a dentist for goodness sakes.

    did that for about an hour yesterday.
    i went full lefty.
    I got my oldest hygienist to try, too.
    its interesting this morning. Full power on the jump and then it just continues to reduce itself to a trickle.
    I called the city. Water pressure inside is OK. its not like we shower here. When the hose is on full blast, the water pressure inside takes a hit, too.
    Odd because I am fairly certain I have two meters.
    I just want to thank every one of you for your caring and suggestions. It really means a lot to me to have such a great support group.
    I really mean that.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
