The Manufactured Housing Forums

A few years ago, the park started having water problems, and since then my water pressure has gradually been going down. They are replacing in-ground pipes throughout the park but haven't gotten to me yet.

My water pressure has gotten so bad that it takes 15 minutes to get even 1/2 tub of water to take a bath.

Is there anything I can do to find out if it is the park's water pressure that is causing the problem or if I might have a leak somewhere. The pressure is bad in every faucet, toilet, sink, and the clothes washer. I don't even know where the connection is under the trailer from the park's pipe. It is a 1986 Skyline single wide Hampshire model. I know the shut off valve is in the back near the waterheater, but others seen to think the connection is in the middle of the trailer somewhere.

What would signs be to look for if I had a leak in my pipes somewhere?

Check the bottom board (Black plastic) material that is on the underside of the floor. If there is a leak, that material will fill up with water like a balloon.
I would suggest that you have some dirt or debris plugging your water supply line.
You might need to get someone to disconnect the inlet and check for a clog.

May I ask another "stupid" question? Where would I find the inlet? Is it in a standard place on all mobile homes?

(I didn't see any bulge anywhere)

The connection should be directly below the water heater of the home...I would diconnect to check preasure here...If it is low here..talk to you npark manager..If strong here the problem is in your supply lines..

Good Luck..
