    Very low H2O pressure in bathroom sink
    I just installed a new faucet in my bathroom. The water pressure was fine for a couple of days, but now all I get is a slow drip from both faucets. The rest of the house is fine. What could be the problem?

    Did you remove the aerator on the end of the spouts.. Remove the aerator (spins out clockwise) and clear of any debris... that should do it. Let me know what you find.

    And.. you are sure you opened shutoffs all the way.. You know I had to ask ;)

    If this helped, please RATE THIS ANSWER. Thank you.

    I will check the aerators tonight, and yes, the shutoffs are opened all the way. Lol
    (sorry, but I'm a novice at this)

    Faucet or faucets, you used both terms, which do you have? Is this a two handle single spout, two handles two spouts or one handle one spout? I am going to guess its not the middle option.

    Funny... I caught that, too Bob... So Bruin, what is it?

    Sorry, it's just one faucet. I was referring to the fact that both the hot & cold water are barely flowing out.

    Cool... check the aerator as discussed... but Bob (Ballengerb1) was right.. if two faucets... may have been diffferent issue (still could be ;) ).. Talk soon.

    Worked like a charm, thanks. I'm sure you'll probably get more idiotic questions from me in the future.

    Much appreciated guys!
