    I recently replaced a leaking,vertical 24" galvanized pipe.

    It was a cold water supply to a kitchen faucet.

    I also replaced both, (hot and cold) supply lines, both stop valves, and both

    Valves in the actual faucet.

    The problem is that the water pressure entering the faucet is good,but exiting the

    Faucet spout is weak.

    I have checked the particle screen at the end of the spout and bled the entire

    Household system... turned on all tap and toilet valves for a few minutes.

    I even back flushed the faucet,Still poor pressure and the flow appears to pulse

    A little. Any suggestions.

    Many thanks, puzzled, JC.

    Hi JC pallette. And welcome to the plumbing [email protected].
    In replacing the faucet you have disturbed some scale buildup in the pipe walls and it is now clogging the inlet ports of there cartridge. The solution is to shut the water off to the tap, open it up, and remove the cartridge. Checking clean the inlet ports in the cartridge.
    Before you reassemble, turn the water on to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test. Good luck, Tom

Hi, I recently ran water lines to and from a water softener and to a deairator for a boiler. Since the deairator was 12 ft higher than the softener we ran them diagonally, I have received a lot of flak over this but not sure why it is unacceptable, can you tell me?
