    Don2409 - First take and check all your hot water lines from the hot water tank to the areas they go to to see if you have any leaks in the pipeing::: 2 - Take the end piece off the faucets spout and clean them out, And about once every couple monthes it is really best to turn the power to the tank off and then drain the tank , oh yes turn the faucets handles off after cleaning the screens, check the pressure now . If it is still not good . After the hot water tank is empty, turn the cold water on, to put water back into the tank, what you want to dfo is to wash the tank out . Rinse the tank out a couple of times to clean out junk that is in the tank abnd is drawn intio the water lines and faucets, to
    Clean them out.:: Take a moment to check to see if the cutoffs are full open also. Now the worst to say , Has the city done any water repairs lateing,any where close to you , if so you may have to clean all your pipes out. I figure that you have some trash caught in the faucets or in the water lines Good luck and GOD BLESS ::F.B.E.
