Hi,
I have low water pressure in the kitceh, that means the sink and the water line for the fridge. The water pipe that feeds the kitchen is the same as the powder room sink and the backyard line. I have a lot of pressure at the end points (powder room sink and the backyard) but not in the kitchen which is right in the middle of the pipe. This doesn't make sense to me. Any help will be much appreciated.

Hot, Cold or both? Has this just came on or has it been a issue for some time? Have you removed the aerator,(see image) and cleaned the screens? If you have then I need the brand name and type of kitchen faucet that you have. Regards, Tom

Low pressure on fridge and sink? Please describe any fittings or shutoffs between main line and fridge, sink. What type of pipe is it (copper, plastic, galvanized steel?)

Kitchen sink: Tom's advice: Clean your aerator
Icemaker line: Replace filter

Both. It has been an issue for some time, about 8 months, I just didn't have the time to get to it. I have removed the aeroator, it's the same. It's a Danze faucet, Sonora series. The code is D404554.

Between the main line and the sink it's a shut-off valve right underneath the sink. All water piping is copper. There is another shut-off vavle for the fridge.

Done both, no change.
