Good morning! My kitchen faucet pressure is low but the spray gun is working perfectly fine

[@Sarbet888]

My neighbor called a plumber, and cost him hundreds of dollars. When my restroom faucet plugged like his, I check youtube for people like you and fix the problem for nothing. I am now a subscriber, thanks.

[@codyrebelcb]

Maybe share this knowledge with your neighbor instead of posting a KZbin comment and acting superior. Lol

[@trimorth5996]

@@codyrebelcb??? read the framing of their comment. it’s pretty obvious he looked up the information AFTER the neighbor already payed for the plumbing, maybe you should stop acting so saint like.

[@farmerwayne1404]

Sometimes you can soak it in vinegar. Then scrubb it a little..😊

[@ForeverDisciplined]

Just fixed mine in 3 minutes, thank you sir. World needs more channels like this one. Short and simple, and very helpful.

[@imp3643]

Thank you! My faucet water was extremely low to the point it was just about dripping when turned on for 8 months. A plumber is too expensive for me. Finally, I thought to search for solutions on internet. This video was the first I seen which less than two weeks ago. Today, I went to Home Depot seen a variety of aerators in the plumbing section. I asked for help from a rep who referred me to another rep that pointed out a universal aerator for $4.97. I purchased it. Got home, located my wrench, removed old aerator, and replaced it with new one. The job took less than 30 SECONDS. Now, my water flows out great! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM!!! It has resolved an 8 month issue and only cost me less than $6 with tax! :-)

[@kodiakpredator]

Pro tip. Wrap your Plier jaws with a little electrical tape and you won’t mar the chrome on the faucet.

[@fortunatedad7695]

Another way is using the handles of the pliers to take of the aerorator. The rubber handles grip surprisingly well.

[@frizzybob]

wish I read this about 3 mins ago 🤣

[@hockeygoalie94]

Alexander Supertramp yeah because a small piece of tape is sooo expensive

[@ayo30s]

Wow! Thanks a Lot. 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸

[@Innerbalancemassagevictoriabc]

Thanks soo much. Quick fix and I used CLR to clean my current aerator. Worked like a charm. I appreciate how there was no fluff in your content too. Hate the big intros people usually do.

[@joshuah1968]

Sink completely stopped working. I cleaned the aerator and now it works good as new. Great video!

[@iRahz.]

I was having this issue for about a week. Watched this video yesterday and said to myself, "there's no way the fix could be that simple". Went out and bought a new aerator and to my surprise, it actually worked! Thank you so much for the video. Appreciate it greatly! 😀👍

[@mysterybat35]

That was my problem.thank you! I feel stupid now that I let this problem go unresolved for months and embarrassing to say maybe even a few years knowing I was too lazy to try to remove this and get a new one . And thank you KZbin for providing a platform like this . This has been my 5th or 6th home repair that I've relied on youtube videos to fix. I've fixed my dryer heating element..my freezer defroster .. I've repaired my window screens and installed new ones using KZbin instructionals and now this!!! Saved so much money!!

[@edpdx50]

Eric, good show, brother. One tip: Before you install the new aerator run both the HOT and COLD a few seconds to push any debris out of the faucet or it with immediately get into your brand new aerator. Cheers.

[@ProBuyersGuides]

edpdx50 Nice tip. I think I actually did that (just because I know I would've been curious to see how the faucet worked without the aerator but I don't think it made it on the video. I added an annotation crediting you with the tip.Thanks.

[@derice7460]

I didn't do this and Bang! Another piece of debris got stuck in mine.

[@hberrysc3517]

It worked!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much!!!! We definitely didn’t need another huge expense at this time!

[@mcpl.spitter3085]

Thank you so much. I live in an apartment complex. Sink has been like this for 2 months waiting on maintenance. You solved my problem by showing me this. Thank you

[@theskinnyguy7957]

You rescued me! THANKS for your video! Simple fix! Aerator was blocked by crud. Cleaned it and restored water pressure to normal!

[@Lawomenshoops]

Everything from calcium to debris from your water heater can clog up an aerator. As a general rule, cleaning doesn’t work. You can soak in vinegar, etc. I would just replace it with a new aerator.

[@XxMagicTacoxX]

i too was pretty skeptical. i was like “no way its gonna be that easy”. i’ve literally been dealing with a slow sink for months and been dreading the call to my maintenance office. little did i know a simple youtube search would help my problems. thank so much!

[@LadyT6698]

Omg THANK YOU BUNCHES 😄 I am so thankful for you sharing! I watched this and immediately went to my bathroom and fixed the problem... my water pressure in my faucet was driving me nuts for months! All is well now, thanks to you! YAYYYY😁😄😁😄👏🙌🙏

[@kibromsieesfatsion9236]

Thanks buddy you saved me from paying lots of money. immediately I fixed my bathroom faucet after watching your video. Two years ago a friend of mine called a plumber and paid 600 canadian dollar. Thank you so much for your help.

[@ejeanroh377]

@kibreem... I respect plumbers and their expertise; but when they overcharge for a service, that is a blemish on a great profession. I got overcharged by HVAC... :(

[@barbschulz3383]

Thank you soooooo much. I was able to fix the water pressure of my bathroom sink ALL BY MYSELF! You saved me time and money. So thanks for sharing your expertise

[@christineurista3750]

Thank you so much. My sink hasn’t been working for months literally and I just decided to look it up and it fixed it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lynnmarie2477]

Thank you so much what an easy fix! I have been dealing with this low water pressure for months and after watching your video it took me less than 2 minutes to solve the problem! I didn't even purchase a new aerator I just used the old one and popped out the other parts so all that all that was left was the screen.

[@barbjordan9141]

Thanks so much! Have been noticing low pressure in one of my faucets and watched this video- fixed it in 2 minutes!

[@Tronderose]

I can't believe it was that easy! I was sure my landlord had pulled some kind of lever under the sink the last time he was here... Decided to give this a go since it couldn't hurt, and sure enough... now I can finally wash my hands properly in the bathroom after months of annoyance :P I didn't even buy a new piece, just scrubbed down the one that was already in there. Ran the hot water before replacing it, and lots of brown water came out before it turned clear. 01:20 Mine was not idiot proof as it had no colors on it, and the beam that sprouted out of my sink when I first put it up-side-down was quite...interesting :') Best part was when I told my husband: "Look, I fixed the sink!" and then had the water sprouting everywhere xD I knew what I had done though, so I quickly turned it and I think he still loves me :P

[@RoxzJulia2468]

thank you so much i google my question and this came up. thought this wouldn't be the thing and this worked for both my kitchen and bathroom sink. i had to just clean the aerators on both and now they work fine!!! thank you soooo much.

[@luphoxcastl]

Was skeptical it would be that simple, but sure enough, that was it!

[@tristanbernson5991]

fax

[@lekeishafleming3015]

It worked for my bathroom sink as well. We paid 4 bucks and some change from our local hardware store. Thanks so much!!! (:

[@JDMKEV]

had been struggling with this for months before...turns out had a bunch of calcium deposit just clogging it...rinsed it out & brushed it to make sure it was clean & works good as new! didnt even have to buy a new one..Thank you first video on the recommended when i search and deservedly so!

[@monicaezenwa9664]

Worked like a charm!! Thanks!!! KZbin saves this 1st time homebuyer some money once again!!! ❤❤❤

[@rhondalove8238]

Thank you so much! I thought I might have a leak under the house, but you helped me fix the low water pressure. I love these how to videos.

[@mouamalalmusharafawy8144]

I opened mine and it was dirty so I gave it a clean and works perfectly fine thanks

[@jorgedavalos5663]

wow i just fixed the water pressure on my bathroom faucet. pretty quick! mime just had like tiny stones stuck inside of it, just cleaned it and pressure is back to normal. thanks!

[@patbrennan6572]

Thank you sir, you just saved me a big plumbers bill and mine did clean up with vinegar.

[@marylhere]

Just fixed our bathroom sink...my son thinks I am a fixing genius. The contractors who installed the faucet put it on backwards....so righty tightly and lefty loosey were also backwards. I thought it was permanently welded on but nope just backwards. Many thanks.

[@danieljohnson5726]

Great advice. I’d just changed out a cartridge for a leaking faucet; now low water pressure! Removed cap & cleaned it. Will replace it ASAP with a new screen/filter.

[@Guardducks]

One tip, when removing your Aerator with pliers or channel locks , use the handle that has the padding as not to scratch the aerator coating. 👍🏼

[@stephanienauman4975]

Thank you! Water flow is back to normal. Glad my issue was an easy fix :)

[@hannah17931]

Fixed my bathroom sink.only had a trickle of water coming out. Took out my aerator and cleaned it and it's good as new 👍

[@gregmartineau2499]

Thank you!!! That was the easiest plumbing fix ever...done in 5 minutes.

[@tristanwhite6109]

Thanks for the video. There was a little piece stuck in the top of my aerator. After I removed that from the piece it flowed great

[@randomrandom450]

Thanks ! Swapping it was easy and fixed the issue. Only cost me 3$ !

[@jf8050]

THANK YOU!! You just saved me several hundred dollars! If a plumber had come over and been able to fix the problem I'm about a minute, would he have pretended to be working for longer in order to make it seem like a more complicated problem and justify charging hundreds of dollars?

[@vfree4579]

I just had an expensive pressure line repaired in the backyard for 460 no hot water for 3 weeks. Shortly after I discovered there was no pressure in the faucet in the bathroom I called the plumber back he didn't answer found your viedo an it's fixed thank you

[@mobetta2092]

My faucet was running really slow and I saw a video that was much longer that had a more complex issue that had me losing hope... then I sought out a shorter video with hopes I'd find a more "favorable" problem with an easier solution. I find this video and the rest is history... history = my problem was fixed by watching this video and spending $5 at Home Depot. Thanks

[@abigaillaris4445]

Thanx, didnt know what was wrong with my sink anymore. But i just fixed it, didnt replace the cap, I instead dumped it in a bup full of vinegar, left it there about 2 hours and put it back on. Worked like a charm. THANX

[@susanjacquez370]

Thanks so much. Thought I was going to have to call a plumber. My bathroom faucet had very low pressure. I took your advice and it is working great.

[@errantbonzer994]

Thank you for this. For me there was something like black ashes in the aerator and inside the faucet so I juust had to clean them them both and put it back in and WALA !! It's even better than before

[@maeritamcdermott7344]

Had my water heater replaced 10 days ago and then only bathroom cold faucet began to run slow, then the hot. Next both just dribbled. After viewing video I tried it. Lots of sediment so I put a bowl in the sink when I cleaned the hole the aerator came from and ran the water. Used a vinegar bath for about 5 minutes and picked out any sediment with a safety pin. Original aerator popped back in and I now have free flowing water. Thank you so much

[@stayconnected4387]

Thanks man 11/10/2023 you helped somebody

[@ericanulph1980]

it's funny. This just started happening to my sink in the bathroom this morning. Glad I know this is going to be easy

[@derice7460]

Thx! I ended up just cleaning mine out. Surprisingly I had a small piece of black rubber in mine. Similar to the gasket.

[@prettylee6793]

Thank you so much! It feels great knowing that was the issue for my sink. Easy fix

[@kingshot2107]

I tried your method and it worked thank you so much!!

[@Tek87654]

Thanks for the video. I put mines in my sonic wave jewelry cleaner and works like a charm!

[@carlm1775]

Absolutely awesome video! Watched it once and was able to solve my bathroom faucet water just trickling out. Thanks!

[@moedavid93]

Thank you so much!! I had a different issue where the water was spewing out somewhat sideways and this fixed it. I just unscrewed it and rescrewed it!

[@it2140]

God bless youtube for simple fixes to potentially expensive problems!

[@teresarackley3800]

Thank you.. I will go buy the part!

[@johntichio3608]

You are amazing! Fixed my faucet in seconds!!

[@j33t52]

Very useful. Did the same as mentioned....got expected result. thanks

[@nancyburch6865]

Great video. Did this in 5 minutes flat. Did increase pressure dramatically, however cold water pressure is really low, so must be in the actual lines going up.

[@RubyRooSimonPoo]

If you have a cache sink and don't have a Aerator Key, a quarter will work! Mine worked like a charm, cleaned it out and water pressure is back to normal.

[@ypc12345]

Thank you for helping me to fix the sink .Save me from calling a plumber and the faucet cost only $2. Awesome!

[@hoots02]

Thank you very much for posting this my brother's washroom and his master bedroom has been like this for years and years and years.. I'm not his full-time caregiver I'm like there has to be something wrong with this because everything else has full pressure. So I'm going to find out how to remove his his a little Different his is get held in by a clip. You didn't hopefully it works thank you once again

[@JVDELUCA]

Works like a charm!

[@TumanWK]

Thanks, While replacing Stem due to slow drip that I didn't want to wait to turn into a steady drain, I dislodge debris when turning off the valves, or removing the stems). It was driving me crazy because it worked, then it was slow, then nothing. Didn't even think it could be the aerator being clogged. Hopefully, I remember this in the future.

[@xSinfulSnipers]

I just took off the diverter and cleaned it out. There were some small hard black pebble like things in there. The whole diverter came apart in pieces, easy to clean. Works!

[@ShoShoBrown]

wow same here had like some hard black rocks/pebbles. works like a charm.

[@ShoShoBrown]

I did have a hard time putting the aerator back together lol but I had got some instructions online.

[@StratonStrangler13927]

I thought no way mine is going to be that easy but it was! Thanks!!

[@jayapalgangineni6770]

Thanks nice information two taps are being repaired

[@janjoshuaayop2939]

Wow. I didnt know i was this easy. Yep fixed it... thank you

[@yisangho717]

Thanks!!!! My faucet is fixed!!

[@garylbowler]

Thank you! So appreciative! Can't really tell you how much I appreciate your video - I'm staying in except for groceries each week because of Covid-19, so I was able to totally resolve the issue with parts I already had! Fantastic! Thanks again!

[@PatentNumber]

Video helped me so much!

[@charlessmith833]

My faucet is brand new and the aerator is perfectly clean, however it only produces a pitiful stream of water. I have 70 PSI city pressure. I think they now measure the flow in spoons full instead of GPM because of the crappy restrictors.

[@carmencolon2237]

Thank you for this video. You probably save me a couple of hundred dollars. I would have never guessed

[@SparkleScott]

Thank you soooo much! I hope it works for me to! Just ordered the part! Have a good one!

[@n8latham]

Did it work?

[@garciavega3298]

Awesome video. My sink works now

Holy shit, I have the same sink, I'm going to get this done now!, thank you!

Thank you from the UK!

[@OoPINBALLoO]

Worked great for me thanks!

[@msracheljoy28]

Thank you for this video! It just saved me from having to call my landlord! It was such an easy fix.

[@fionafifi7029]

Thanks for this video ugh. Mine was clogged with little mineral deposits or sandy rocky looking things. Used a needle to get them out of the tiny holes and put it back together and it worked. Only thing is i was confused how to layer it back together but i got it lol mine didnt look like yours tho its plastic with 3 parts. Easiest thing ever when i thought it had to turn off water and take faucet off lol!

[@success2112]

Thanks for the tip, it worked like a charm 😀

[@connorcosgrove2240]

This past fall/winter I was having this exact issue twice, the first it would be the water pressure, but it wasn’t. When it happened again the second time, it turned out to be the aerator. That was causing my sink to sputter water because the aerator had air in it.

[@JoshuaDay0550]

i called bullshit on this because my water didnt look like that coming out but it was kind of slow. figured id take the 5$ chance and wouldnt ya know.... fixed it in 30 seconds. great water pressure now. thank you!

[@fourten0410]

Thank you! Solved my problems!

[@JXiong-zo8ig]

Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!

[@loudaman79]

Thank you so much. I been lookup everything on how to get better water pressure. Do you have anything for shower head and tub faucet?

[@TommyLent]

Great great quick fix! Now I don't have to force myself up with a hangover to answer the door when the super comes knockin' after I wrote on the building's daily planner "Yo. Something's wrong with my bathroom appliance and it ain't my fault! Please don't arrive before 4:00pm because I will be sleeping!" Life in the Bronx for me. :)

[@samwilliam9974]
