water pressure

i live on an acerage that has one well for 2 houses. my house has less pressure than the other. I suspect that the pipes to my house are restricted. what type of chemicals can i put in the pipes to try and loosen this crud up?

Cool

If you have galvanized water supply pipes, the only thing that you can do is replace them.
Once they start scaling up inside, restricting water flow, they only get worse until they eventually plug up completely.
I would go with the next larger size PVC or copper supply line to increase the volume (such as from 3/4" to 1").
Good Luck!
Mike
