    No water from one faucet
    All of the faucets/water in my home are wortking properly ( hot and cold) except one suddenly just stopped.
    In one room the water from one faucet suddenly stopped working. For both hot and cold water with there is barely a trickle when I turn on the hot or cold faucets.
    The shower and toilet in that same room are working fine.

    Background: we had a new hot water tank installed a week ago and when the faucet stopped working it was the first time I had turned on the hot water in that bathroom ( I had used the cold water often). The water worked for 2 seconds as normal and then just stopped.

    Try unscrewing the screen at the end of the faucet and look for debris.

    Stratmado nailed this one... ;)

    You want to unscrew the aerator at the end of the spout clockwise, then clean, then pulse hot and cold water to clear spout of any remaining sediment.. then re-install the aerator.

    If messy spray afterwards, may want to replace the aerator (available at all home supply stores).

    Check out the pic. Below. ANd also click on the attachment : aerator2.pdf to be sure you know what we are talking about.
