    Dual Faucets Two Different Pressures
    :eek: Hi, I have a dual sink setup in the kids bathroom. The water feed is split behind the vanity going to both faucets but one has significantly lower pressure even when the other is shut off. I pulled the vanity out and there are no crimps in the pex water supply and they both run unobstructed to there designated faucets. PLEASE HELP!! The wife is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance. Dan

    Dan... first thing you need to try is to remove the AERATOR at the end of the spout of the faucet.. see pic.

    Twists out clockwise. Remove it, clean it, pulse water without aerator in place... how is pressure now? Then replace aerator and may be all set..

    Let me know if that worked. If not, get me a name off the faucet... see if I can find a specification sheet for us to work from.. IF needed... ;)
