    Very slow water in kitchen
    We're on a well. The bathroom sink fills 1/2 gallon in 20 seconds, the sink takes a full minute! Much too slow! Might it be a restrictor? A pipe with solder blocking water flow?
    Plumber charges over $100 an hour. Can I fix this myself?

    Thanks for your response.
