    Did you turn the water when you had the valve open to flush out the supplies? No? Then you most likely have some trash clogging the cartridge,
    Turn the water off, open the valve and pull the cartridge, Check and clean the inlet ports on the cartridge. Now turn the water back on to flush out any mineral buildup. Reassemble and test, Better now? Good luck, Tom
