    Low Water Pressure
    I have a 3 story row house. The water pressure in my kitchen sink is very low, however the pressure is fine in the rest of the house. Any ideas on what my problem may be. Thx.

    Have you removed the aerator from the spout and checked to see if the screens are clogged? Once you get the aerator off turn the water on and see if you don't get a full stream now. If not click on back and give me the brand name of your faucet, its age and the type, one handle or two knobs.
    Good luck, Tom
