I have a glacier bay wall mount faucet. The water comes out half the pressure whether hot or cold is on. It worked fine after installation of the new faucet, then the next morning it slowed to half. All other pressure in house is fine and I have no leaks. HELP!

Hey JJ51:
First thing to check is the aerator at the end of the wall mount faucet spout (see pic.). Here, remove aerator by twisting off clockwise, then remove and clear aerator of any debris. While aerator is out run the water full stream... is water volume/pressure improved? If it is, then re-install aerator and should be good to go!
If not, then will need to shut the water to new faucet and remove the cartridge inside, pulse water to clear faucet of debris, check cartridge for debris (check nooks and crannys... I found some wood chips in one just this morning ;)), then re-install and see what happens.
Hopefully this will fix problem.. let us know result or if need more assistance.. ok? Mark
