Is it any wonder we weren't getting water? As you can see from this 3/4 inch elbow, there's no room for the water to get through - the pipe is completely filled with mineral build up.
Really. It's not just a smaller diameter opening. It's completely blocked. If this was one of my arteries, I'd be dead.
The old galavanized pipes were completely plugged as well. As you might expect, the unions where copper and galvanized were joined together were the worst because no dielectric unions were used. This would be a good practical example for a high school science class.
As of yesterday, it has all been replaced with PEX. I'm seriously looking forward to doing this to the rest of the house, too.
