All other water sources in the condo are fine, any suggestions? Thank you

Hi Ryansal33

In cases like this, the first thing to do will be to remove the AERATOR at the end of the faucet spout... unscrews clockwise... ;)

Clean the aerator and run the faucet WITHOUT the aerator in place and then replace the aerator to see if that resolved your issue.

Let us know what happens, OK?

If the faucet has two handles remove the aerator than see if you are getting water out of the faucet.If so clean or replace aerator.If a single handle faucet,still check aerator first.If still a problem, the blockage is in the cartridge.Always start at the place the water is supposed to come out and work your way back to the water supply.If you don't know how to take faucet apart, you can pull the supply lines and check the flow in a bucket,but I already know it's probably the aerator.

Hello Plumb,

Welcome to the plumbing website and thanks for responding to the threads but please keep in mind that here are a lot of excellent experts like Mark, Tom, Milo, Bob, Lee and Harold.

Mark already responded and suggested to check the Aerator once that is done if the problem is still there then he will suggest the next step which probably will be to flush the valve or change the cartridge, lets wait what and see what Ryansal come up with, Thanks.
