Thanks to this video, I likely just saved myself hundreds of dollars on hiring a plumber to fix my low water pressure, but the very first thing you mentioned, checking the aerator, problem solved. It was gunked up with some debris. Thanks Fix It French!

      The aerator indeed turned out to be the problem for me too - I initially didn't want to believe it because I would have expected there to still be a "jet" of water, but as soon as I unscrewed it, I got a bit of surprise on the front of my shirt when I turned the tap/faucet back on!

    • @FixItFrench
      @FixItFrench  10 дней назад

      Yes when changing new faucets, it’s a good idea to let the water run a few seconds before connecting the hoses. When the water shuts off, it builds up sediment and often times will get into the brand new faucet. Glad you guys were able to get it figure it out 👍🏼👍🏼

    I was dreading the idea of needing to pull my faucet out. It was not the aerator, but it was debris from underneath. Pulling off the hot and cold underneath the sink, tapping it out, I even ran some air from the top with the faucet in the on position and now the pressure is back. It does not take much debris for it to slow the flow. Fast, Simple and far better than pulling the faucet! Thanks for a great reminder!

      I have an issue with laundry sink low pressure to no hot water. Cold works fine. I’ve tried your steps and have let cold water run thru the hot line under the sink so any debris gets out. It did run thru fine however when put back together, the hot water still doesn’t come on. I’ve tried replacing the Gerber cartridge as well but no luck. I’ve also checked that the hot from main does reach under the sink. Any suggestions?

    Great video, right to the point. I had the same situation. Didn't know what the cause or solution might be. It only did this on the hot side of the kitchen faucet. I did this just as you showed, even took a paper towel and cleaned down in the valve area of the release valve, thinking debris might be sitting on it, as gravity has a tendency to do. It revealed sand in the bowl where the water flowed it back, and sand on the paper towel. I hooked up everything and it was works like normal again. I shared this video on Facebook, to help anyone else out there to find how to fix a similar problem. Sometimes we all struggle. This is the beauty of RUclips and social media. It can be very helpful to share what we learn. Thanks again for helping me learn, and pass it along. :)

      Just a heads up; if that much junk came out of there, then there is a good chance your water heater has a lot of debris as well. You may have to do this process again in a few months if that’s the case. (Or until you clean out your water heater) Hope this helps 🤙🏼🤙🏼

      Keep good attention on your water hoses. If ruber came out, it’s possible that it was an o-ring. If that’s the case you’ll need to get a new o-ring. They are only about $0.75.
      If it starts leaking let me know, and I’ll help you put the o-ring in👍🏼
