We just bought a manufactured home and are having two problems, first being the water pressure, it's very low, if you flush a toilet it takes a good 4-5 mins to refill, and forget trying to wash your hands while the toilet refills, tried to give the kids a bath yesterday and after 45 mins I had half a tub full but the warm water had cooled down too much so that was a joke.
I did check under the house and in the softner area for a whole house filter thinking that was clogged, also checked the under house crock to confirm it was fully open, I did notice water in the crock area, called park to ask them to come look at it but no reply yet, trying to determine what else to check or do on this, if it is a park thing (neighbor says theirs isn't great pressure wise but they can take a bath or flush toilet and wash hands at same time).
My 2nd question is about the water softener, first time using one so not exactly sure where to start here but when i look down into the tank where you put the salt its full of water, the water isnt very clean looking should I be getting that out before adding the salt? I read something online about resin in softeners is that resin or water i see in there? (not even sure what resin is) hehe, but i dont want to waste a good 30$ worth of salt in there if i should be emptying the water in there first (I do have a handy syphon pump and a big bucket so it would be no problem).
My neighbor said set the hardness to 30 so ill try that and follow the directions on the lid for setting the time and regen times, but just wasn't sure if i should do something with that water in there first before adding salt.
Thanks for the help and advice here, first home so everything is a new experience here for me but I do know some of the basics (check crock valve, check for whole house filter, etc).
