    I turned of the water in a house we own for the winter and when i turned the water back on the water pressure is low in the hot tap in the kitchen, the dishwasher, the shower and the toilet does not fill.

    Is there any easy way to clear the pipes without having to take everything apart, is there any chemical that can be put into the water tank to clear the silt and unblock the pipes?

    When you turned off the water for the winter did you drain the attic tank? It sounds like you have an airlock

    Have you iron in the water? Is it a well supply?
