    Pressure/flow drop after installing the pressure tank.

    yea the plumbing project is in the crawlspace that can only be accessed from outside and a previous owner put the charcoal filter in the house so you don't have to go to the crawlspace to change it when your water smells like fart

    Pressure/flow drop after installing the pressure tank.
