Every faucet has water but when I use the bathroom sink it has NO water at all.

Hi finney18...

Either the shutoffs under the sink are shut or or it could also be as easy as the aerator at the faucet spout being clogged.

Easiest to check is the aerator. Remove it by unscrewing it clockwise... see image.

Once removed, check for water flow by turning the faucet on... check both hot and cold.

If water is present clear the aerator screens of any sediment and replace the aerator.

If no water present then you'll need to check that the shutoffs underneath are open. Turn the aerator counterclockwise to remove. If any drip develops at the stem/handle then you will need to tighten the PACKING NUT behind the handle a tweek or two... ;)

Let us know how you make out... OK?
