    After shutting off the main line to fix a faucet, another faucet started running slow
    I shut off the main line to fix the tub faucet. When I turned the main line back on the sink, in the same bathroom, had low water pressure. This wasn't the case prior to the job. It's very cold now so I thought perhaps a water line was frozen, however, every other faucet in the house is running at normal pressure. I tried turning off the main line, opening the sink, and letting it push out any air in the line but that didn't work either. What happened and how do I fix it?

    Thanks for pushing that. It worked great. I ignored that idea since there was no problem before I shut off the main. Must have knocked some calcium loose, which got stuck in the aerator. Thanks again.
