    Sudden Low output of water of bathroom faucet
    My bathroom faucet has all the sudden decided to put out a low output of water. All the other faucets in the house are working fine. For some reason only the bathroom faucet when I turn it on has only a little stream of water!! I tried to take the filter off the faucet and clean it, but it won't come off! I Don't know what the problem could be and what to do from here!

    Please help the single women who doesn't know a darn thing about plumbing :confused:

    You were definetley headed in the right place! You need to start with taking the filter (aerator) off the faucet. If necessary use a pair of pliers... get a good bite (will mar the finish slightly, but can always replace the aerator if necessary) then turn clockwise until this is loosened.

    Then clean out the aerator by removing all the parts and cleaning all parts. NOTE: Remember the order you remove all parts in... they must go back in in the same order.

    I bet this fixes the problem. If it does not just let us know and we will be glad to assist.

    If my answer helped please RATE MY ANSWER... thank you.

    Try better tool to remove filter. Maybe try to disconnect hose from supply, and try to force backwards, out of line. Can do with filter in place.
    Was it all of a sudden?

    Stratmando... I think she is talking about the bathroom faucet aerator.. She seems to be calling the aerator a filter (cause of screen in end). I am not 100% sure, of course, but just did not want to confuse her if she is talking about aerator and not a filter. Best wishes.
