    Sink has no water pressure - everything else does?
    I have a bathroom sink that runs at a very slow pace; the pressure is quite low - both for hot and cold water. The shower and tub in the same bathroom, which I presume? Use the same plumbing lines, have good pressure. Any thoughts as to what might be causing the low pressure in the sink faucet?

    Remove and clean or replace the aerator.

    Hi all:

    Harold said it... ;)

    Unscrew the aerator (see image) at the end of the spout clockwise and clean the screen(s). Run hot and cold water without the aerator in place for 10 seconds. Assemble the aerator in the order you took it apart and reinstall.

    You may need a pair of pliers to loosen this. Use a cloth between the pliers and the aerator to protect the chrome finish.
