          City water OR well system on a private pump?

          If it is city water try to find out when this happens. A lot of times the city water pressure drops drastically during peak demands. If you install a Pressure regulating valve it should correct this problem. I had this happen on several high rise buildings 47 + stories especially with a gravity feed. Good luck
