JerryWayne newbie Registered: 06/08/12 Posts: 3	I plumbed in a used water heater. I have almost no water pressure on the hot water faucet. I have good pressure on the cold . All valves are open and my prssure on my holding tank reaches 50 lbs. Both the hot water tank and my holding tank are full of water. I have bled off the air, but have very, very little hot water pressure..Please help me!!!

If yes, it could be the faucet cartridge/washer itself. _________________________ ASRock Mobo, Phenom II CPU, Win 7/64 Premium, 8GB DDR3 Ram, Chrome, Avira AV, Malwarebytes .

JerryWayne newbie Registered: 06/08/12 Posts: 3	My next move I guess is to cut the hot water line and put a shutoff there and see if I have water pressure at the valve. Have you ever heard of a tube in the tank being pluggeg? If so how would I clear a plugged line in the tank??

JerryWayne newbie Registered: 06/08/12 Posts: 3	I did check them all...they are not plugged...I'm wondering if I have a bladder problem in the holding tank?..Do you know how much air pressure I should have in a 20lb. tank??
