    Nearly no cold water pressure in bathtub faucet
    Hi, we replaced our bathtub faucets and now we do not have much pressure/water from the cold. We had a moen (one handle type) and replaced it with a similar one. We have lots of hot, just no cold. Any suggestions?

    Hi Bmclean...

    Remove the cartridge and pulse the water on/off at the shutoffs to see if anything is lodged in the valve body. While the cartrdige is out, inspect that for any blockages... most likely something is clogging up.

    Let me know how you do...
