The water pressure is great everywhere except for the sink in the bathroom. It takes forever to simply wash your hands or rinse toothbrush. I've briefly looked around for a valve or something that might not be open all the way but I haven't found anything. Anybody else have this problem or ideas on getting it fixed? 2020 382MBQ Attachments:

I took apart the faucet and found a metal screen and cleaned it to get a very minor increase in water pressure but its still way under the pressure it should be.

Turn off the water then remove the water lines from the faucet and direct them into a container. Have someone turn on the water briefly and see if there is a strong flow. If it is, then repair or replace the faucet with one that is not cheap junk. If the water flow is still slow, then find the kink or blockage. While doing this, it would be a great time to install stops and good supply lines. The stops will allow full use of the other fixtures if there is a future problem. Since you didn’t mention if the problem is with hot, cold or both, my guess is that the faucet is the issue.

Thats a great idea. I was already looking at buying another faucet, but thats a good idea to check the pressure immediately before it gets to the faucet. I'll try to get some time to try that out this later this week and let you know what I find out.

Thank you lynnmor! I removed the lines immediately before the faucet and it has great pressure. I bought a new water faucet and the pressure is amazing! Thank you for the help!

Mine did that too, the Dealership replaced the faucet. It worked fine for 5 days. Then back to low flow. We bought a new, different type of faucet, but the dealership said the ends did not match up. When you replaced yours, did you have to add anything? Other than the shut offs - we have every intention of adding those too. Thank you.2021 382mbq.

When you replace a faucet, it is a good idea to run the water full force from the supply lines to flush the debris out before connecting them to the faucet. If you can’t do that, remove the aerator and flush.

I did not have to add anything, it was very simple. The only thing I made sure to do when I went to Home Depot was ensure I get a "single hole" faucet. I ended up getting a Pfister brand that had the option of 3-hole or single hole. I noticed a lot of Pfister brand faucets had that option. I had no prior experience, but I kept my receipt thinking something might not match up but it all worked out. The hardest part was the small awkword space to work. My girlfriend with smaller hands had to help. |
