    Turn faucet on in bathroom but water run in slow stream
    Hello Everyone,

    I'm new to this forum. Can someone please direct me? I need to fix my bathroom sink. When I turn the water on a slow stream runs; the water doesn't come on full blast. It was running a bit more earlier but I adjusted the gauges underneath the sink and got the results above.

    What can I do to get the water running correctly again?

    Thank you for any help you can give.

    If u can take the aerator off the faucet and see if it is clogged... The aerator is the small round piece that the water flows out of and should twist off using only your hand. If u use pliers be very careful not to grip to hard because it will damage the part. If the areator is not clogged turn the stops off and take the supply lines loose and blow through them to see if they are the problem. Hope this helps

    Thank you so much for this information. My faucet has been repaired. The aerator was clogged. That definitely fixed my problem. I truly appreciate it. You saved me tons of money.


    Have a great day and thanks again!
