I have what I think is a water flow problem at my building. Two buildings on two adjacent properties getting the same city water with each having it's own back flow preventer valves. One building has great pressure and flow but the other one is really bad. I'm going to pick up a pressure tester for the faucet today because it seems like the pressure might be okay, not sure. When you first turn on the water it comes out fairly strong, then immediately slows down to a weak flow. The line that enters the building from the street has low flow so it has to be in the back flow preventer valves or regulators at the street. This is the part that I'm familiar with.
Is there anyone here familiar with these valves and have any ideas? I'm searching online for help/diagrams/explanations but thought I'd ask here too.
The fallback plan is to call the city but I'd like to get somewhat educated with what's going on before I call. And of course they also charge you for showing up and/or fixing it.
