I live in a mobile home park and I rent a mobile home. Pardon my french but the water pressure sux! Everyone in the park has very bad water pressure. Isn't there a switch somewhere out by the main road that can go bad? Help someone please. I have never lived in a mobile home before and I never will again. Can't wait to move out but I do need to shower and you got to stand in there 30 min just to rinse your hair.

Thanks for any info,
Karen

There are too many possibilities to list them all . Do you know if the water is being supplied from a well or public water system ? The pressure can be increased, the cost will vary greatly depending on the exact situation. It could be as easy as an adjustment of a pressure switch, or as expensive as adding a booster pump.

Get pressure readings while you are running water, while you aren't running any water, and late night/early morning when nobody is running water. Depending on the readings, there are some steps you can take to improve your situation.

It has NOTHING to do with a mobile home, and EVERYTHING to do with how the water is supplied. We have on idea what is causing the problem, so we cannot advise as to the cure.

I hate when that happens.......
How is the water line attached to your home? a garden hose? Chances are the issue is the trailer park using under sized pipes and you are just another victim. But in order to be sure, you need the help of a licensed plumber to perform an onsite inspection to determine the actual cause.

Let us know the results.

If the park is on city water, there's no "switch" per se. There's a main shut off, and there might be a pressure regulator, but that is the landlord's responsibility to service and maintain.

I will say this: since other trailers in the park report the same problem, and it's an older park and if the supply pipes are galvanized.......Don't renew your lease!

There's a chance that the shower head is clogged. Unscrew it and see if the pressure is better.

a public water system. We are on city water. It is the whole park that has bad, bad water prewssure, almost nil.

I am going to start a petition and go to every trailer in the park and get signatures. This has to be looked into. Everyone hates it. If you need to know, it is in Soddy Daisy, Tn.

You will still need pressure readings.

YOU also need pressure readings from other buildings which are NOT on your site.

Until the trailer park fix's the problem Karen, take your shower head off so just the chrome 1/2 inch pipe (shower arm) is the facing downwards. This will beat you up a bit with water, but you should get a better amount of water showering until they fix the problem.
