Low Water Pressure After Replacing a Faucet

RE: Low Water Pressure in one Faucet; all others are okay. Post By Jay Dubb (Guest Post) (09/03/2008) All of a sudden our bathroom faucet doesn't have any water pressure. The tub is fine, the toilet is fine and the kitchen sink is fine. The faucet is about 4 or 5 years old.

This problem wasnt there at all untill he replaced the kitchen faucet. That one works great. Im so tired of the trickle from the shower, its barly enough to wash my hair thourghly. When we took the shower head off there was no seditment, and we let the shower hot water run a while. No change. When I turn on the cold with the hot the pressure is great. I just want my shower to work right.. its convient.. so I use it and growl alot :) Thanks for any advice. P.S. I dont know why my post said anonymous.

It will be debris in the pipe or in the tub valve. Working in the kitchen with the shutoffs under the sink would not cause this to happen. you will need to remove the faucet stems and then turn the water back on to flush the system of debris. be careful and good luck. jeff http://www.lockeplumbing.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Low Water Pressure MY HUBBY CORRECTS ME! :) Post by Anonymous (3) | (02/28/2006) Contact WELL.... Now he tells me! He didnt turn all the water off! Only at the kitchen faucet, the one he replaced. I told him I asked here and read the responces off. So we took the shower head off to check for sediment crud etc.. there was nothing there. He then turned the shower on and there is very low pressure from that water pipe. I wish we had left the old faucet inplace!!!

Manufacturers are required to install them now. My husband was able to remove ours very easily; now we have lots of water pressure. Report Spam or Abuse
