Hi Gentlemen and Ladies,
My spouse and I just replaced our hot water heater in our mobile home, however after replacing the hot water heater we have no water pressure besides a steady dribble throughout the entire home. Our water in our mobile home is ran with 3/4" cPvc (hot) and pvc (cold). We have checked the hot water heater and released any air that may have been in the system and we have checked the flow of the water coming into our home from the main. We do not have a psi tester to tell you the psi, but it was flowing similar to a full strength water hose. We are somewhat in question as to the strength of this flow but prior to installing the hot water heater we did have suitable water pressure. Please know we are on a well within a mobile home community and the water condition is terrible. We have changed the shut off valves within the home, we have also checked for cracked pipes but we are officially at a loss, nothing is working. We are hoping that a few of you could help us troubleshoot the issue or guide us in the right direction.
Thank you for all your help in advance.
Psgoff

How did you check the incoming flow? Was it on the house side of the main shut-off valve?

It's probably a faulty valve or debris that was dislodged when you turned the water off to change the heater. Do you have a water filter ? Where is the valve you used to turn the water off ?
