    Water pressure at the sink and dishwasher not draining are two separate problems. Try to answer Tom's questions and we can help you fix both issues. To start with remove the faucet aerator so you can tell us if the pressure improves. I know it seems like pressure is a problem but its actually volume is reduced, pressure is still likely in the 45 psi ballpark.
