How to fix a sink with low water pressure (kitchen or bathroom Faucet) Hot and Cold

[@Omikoshi78]

I’m another person that lost their dad when I was in my teens so I never learned a lot of these basics. You’re doing so much more than teaching here, you’re relieving anxiety for many by giving methodical trouble shooting steps. Thanks for your amazing videos!

[@FixItFrench]

So glad I could help Edith! Also I am very sorry to hear about your dad. He would be proud to know you fix it yourself 😃

This helped me so much. I lost my dad last year when I was 24 so I didn’t have him to help me.

[@FixItFrench]

So happy to hear that, and I am also sorry to hear about your dad! I’m sure he would be proud of you for trying to do this on your own. If you have anymore problems let me know! Hearing responses like this make it so much easier for me to make more videos!😁

[@wiesbadengera1]

Same! Gotta love these folks who share their knowledge for whatever reason.

[@williamstorch5310]

I lost my dad a few months after I bought my first home at 27. I had to install a water softener and he was all I could think about as I struggled through it. Sorry you went through this too and I know this is random and like a year later, but as someone who understands how painful even little things are, I'm sure he would be proud of you.

[@MyBeachHouse]

3 years later- I needed this video! I am recently divorced and in a rental house. I am pretty good at this stuf now, but my bathroom sink has not had pressure since I moved in. Today is the day I am going to fix it! Thank you as others have said.. for your personal yet professional video and for the clear and concise explanation and instructions. I am 54 and lost my dad too. He was always my go to guy for fixing or direction on these things - Thank you for filling in! 🙏 I am sure my landlord appreciates it too so he doesn't have to send top $ pros to do these "easier" fixes!

I am 57 years old, and use to be a journeyman carpenter in my younger days, and have always refused to learn about plumbing and electricity. 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!

[@vaskakam4147]

You’re the best! Thank you for posting this. I have been living with this problem for a year. Plumber replaced my faucet, I thought that was the problem. $200 per hour with 2hour minimum so that cost $400 plus new hardware. I was going to bite the bullet and call them again after living with this for 1 year. Found this video and tried it myself. I have never tried anything like this… I don’t even know which way to turn water off , mine seems to be rigged backwards. Had to do it twice because there was so much debris. It’s running hot water again. My husband is out of town and he’s going to be so shocked and happy. Thank You

[@moonlight69]

We have had low pressure in our bathroom faucet for months, and I finally decided to Google it. Taking the aerator off and removing the little pebble that was clogging it fixed the pressure in about 7 seconds of effort. Thank you for this video!

[@FixItFrench]

@@moonlight69 awesome! So glad I could help! Crazy how such a small thing can cause such a big problem

[@FixItFrench]

@@DejarDetailing first thing I would do is make sure the waterline is turned back on. If they both are turned back on, I would then remove the handles on the sink. There should be a small hole on both handles and you will need an Allen wrench to remove them. You’ll find a mixer screen inside, and debris usually builds up there too.

[@kauthardavids1866]

I thought that it couldn't be something this simple, it really was this simple. Thank you so much. I was able to fix my parents water pressure with this video. My dad can no longer do things like this after a stroke 10 yrs ago and he can no longer walk and do things like this. Thanks so much

OMG - I've been living with a super-low-flowing kitchen faucet in our island sink for years and figured it was a "plumbing problem" that I just didn't want to get into. One minute into this video and it is SOLVED. Was just a clogged aerator!! Thank you so much for the informative video. You just saved me several minutes every time I fill a pot for pasta...

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@maltsevv]

That was very helpful, thank you so much! Five minutes into the video, and I saw exactly what the problem with my faucet was most likely to be (stuff stuck in the aerator). Fixing it was another five minutes, and saved me the cost of a plumber's visit. Thanks again!

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome! So glad I could help👍🏼👍🏼

[@lollycopter]

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!

[@brackonlundy8263]

You know what I thought this wasn’t going to work. But not a crazy story, it did. I installed a water filter under the sink and lost pressure. Spent 4 hours messing with that fixture thinking it’s the only thing that changed. Then I cleaned to screen in the faucet out. 5 minutes later it’s working like normal. Better late than never. But kudos to you for putting this video out. Saved my a**!!

[@jeffreinardy7570]

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!

[@sabumsamuel]

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?

@@FixItFrench The trick was finding out that I could use the cold water line to back flush the hot line from the faucet. Got all kinds of grit out. The hot water flow had been 1/3 of the cold. Now they are nearly matched.

@@Bgraytful Awesome. Most people you’re age would not have tried doing such work. Great job 👍🏼

Omg! Thank you for your help! I fixed my sink. I checked both temps, then went for the most obvious first. Removed the facet extension connected to the hose. We have one of those spraying facets. The hose itself was spraying weird so I cleared that, I couldn’t figure out how to remove the screen from the facet so I soaked it in Awesome cleaner figuring it was debris like you had mentioned. Sure enough it was. Reconnected everything and it’s flowing! Thank you!

We've had low water pressure on the hot water for about three weeks. Everyone said to just take off the the faucet head that pulls away and the hot water lead and blow from the top and the debris will fall out. Tried it three times. Once with an air compressor and got zero results. Did what you said. Turned on the cold water and slowly shifted it to hot and low and behold that water pressure shot out a shit ton of debris. Water pressure is back to normal. Thanks for the video!!!

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 KZbin and social media.

It was a new faucet so maybe from the manufacturing process. But this video was perfect and to the point. Thank you from me but more importantly from my wife!

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👍🏼

Im not certain what valve you have, but I’m thinking you are talking about a flowtite valve. Unfortunately I Don’t have any video recommendations for you.

Yo, sick sht. The faucet in the restroom had low water pressure from both the hot and cold sides. Removed the aerator and replaced it with a known good one from the faucet in the other restroom. Lo and behold, the aerator was clogged. Attempted to unclog it with some air pressure from a dust can to no avail. Just bought a new aerator from Home Depot for under $5. Problem solved! Luckily, it wasn't more of a fix than that. Thanks for the great video with excellent explanation and information. 👍🏽

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome! I am glad you got it figured out🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@sujayanniemazumdar]

Thanks bud. I was mad that I had to troubleshoot this and get under the sink. So I checked the aerator. Lone behold there was so much mineral built up after just one year of us moving into this house. Thanks a lot

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome!!! Glad I was able to help🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@tobiasella5553]

Thank you ! This really helped I was going crazy trying to do dish’s with a drip of water! This was so easy to understand you really are a great teacher! Keep up the great videos

[@FixItFrench]

Wow thank you so much for that compliment! I am glad I could help, and if you ever start losing pressure again, I have more tips I can share. All you have to do is ask 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@margueriterizzo7925]

Thanks for making this, so nice you went the extra step to show something besides removing the aerator. I watched a lot of videos all said. “ Fix low water pressure”. They should be called, cleaning aerator. 👍

[@FixItFrench]

I am glad I could help! Thank you for the kind words as well👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@themightylemor]

Thank you, Sir! You saved me a $150 plumbing service visit. Took me 10 minutes tops. SUBSCRIBED!

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome! These are some of my favorite comments, I’m glad I could help, and I appreciate the sub🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@BonniBender]

I was able to fix the issue with my kitchen sink in two minutes thanks to this video

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome!! Glad I could help

[@sharit7970]

Thanks for sharing! No hot water in the kitchen faucet is the problem with my rental unit; there's hot water in the bathroom, so I know it's just the kitchen faucet. I'm glad its not the hot water heater, even though it's on borrowed time... I hope my fix is as easy as yours. Thanks again!

[@FixItFrench]

I hope this works for you! If not, I have some more tips that can help out as well. Have a good day.

[@rosemarieross603]

Excellent video... 80 years old and I can do this! thank you!

[@FixItFrench]

Glad I could help you Rosemarie!!! 😃

[@kellyturner3777]

You are the first video I watched. It was my aerator. Got some debris out works just fine. Thanks for the quick fix

[@FixItFrench]

So glad I could help!!👍🏼

[@JoshBenware]

This wasn't the exact fix, but it got me familiar with things under the sink. I had no hot water pressure and now it's very good pressure! Thank you so much!

[@FixItFrench]

I’m glad you got it fixed, and I’m glad I could help!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@JoshBenware]

@Fix It French it turned out to be the actual valve itself. Lots of very black liquid came out of there. The line to the faucet was clear. Kinda weird. And the valve was really froze up. I may have to replace it altogether one day

[@FixItFrench]

@@JoshBenware that’s all you won’t have to do that for a while. Glad it’s running now though 👍🏼👍🏼

[@silverrune17]

Thank you so much! Had a plumber here earlier to fix a problem with washer hose and later wading dishes had low we in kitchen sink. Tap the tip of faucet as you suggested and all was well!😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome! Glad I was able to help!! 👍🏼

[@TheRealAuntViv]

The maintenance at my apartment sucks. They fix one thing and break another in the process. I said at this point I’m just going to do everything myself. This process worked like a charm!

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome!!!! Glad I could help it. Let me know if you need any help

[@JakeBorowski15]

This was a huge help! All I had to do was take the single piece off. So simple yet I'm not a handy guy at all so it helps to have videos like this. Thanks again!

[@FixItFrench]

Glad I could help! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@zyphon7]

Both sides were low pressure as you said and I was able to pop the airator off and clean it out in about 5 minutes. Was seriously about to call a plumber 😂, thank you so much

[@FixItFrench]

So glad I could help! It sometimes it’s easier than what we think. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@DavidD0710]

Thanks my cold water pressure was low, looked up some vids and found yours. Found lots of calcium. Thanks for showing what to do!

[@FixItFrench]

I’m glad I could help, and great job getting it fixed👍🏼👍🏼

[@whipworks4468]

THANK YOU!!! I was about to buy a new faucet! You just saved me $100 bucks my friend, thank you!

[@FixItFrench]

Love to hear it! Glad you got it workin again!

[@gryhze]

Do this first. I back flushed the hot water line and cleared debris in the line. Water pressure on the hot water side back to normal. Took 10 minutes and no parts were replaced. Thanks for this video!!!

[@FixItFrench]

Great job! Glad I could help 👍🏼

[@bleckandbleck]

Great video. Brand new Franke faucet with terrible flow both temps. The amount of gunk in both feeds was stunning. My daughter did it with me and now she knows how to fix it too.

[@FixItFrench]

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 👍🏼👍🏼

[@karan4251]

This helped me just now.. I just tried and checked first valve.. My water 💧 issue resolved.. ❤❤❤

[@FixItFrench]

@@karan4251 awesome! So glad I could help

[@maileevyne5000]

This whole time! I thought it was my pipes! So I just let it be for a year. 🙃 I would have to let it drizzle into a pot. So I can use it to wash dishes. But I followed this video. And dundundun. It was the aerator. I took it off, and omg there was so much debris! It works normal now. I'm starting to rethink my life. Lol like what have I been putting up with. Something so easy, could have been fixed months ago if I had bothered to look at this video. 😭😅 Talk about having the resources at your finger tips. I had trouble at first loosening it, I was turning it the wrong way. My bathroom sink was a tiny drizzle too. I cleaned it. I found out there's a female and male aerator. 👍 Anyway thanks for this video. Couldn't have done it without it. 😁

[@FixItFrench]

So glad you could get it fixed! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼Low water pressure is such an annoying thing to deal with

[@mgrecoCA]

Worked like a charm! I had two large rocks and now hot water is flowing perfectly.

[@FixItFrench]

Love to hear that! Low pressure is such a pain, glad you got it fixed

[@fixthatface483]

Thank you!!! After flushing my water heater twice, this fixed my problem immediately!

[@FixItFrench]

Awesome! Glad I could help👍🏼

[@theentrepreneurnetwork9214]

This Was My Exact Problem!!! Thank You So Much! I Recently Did A Tune-Up On My Hot Water Heater And A Bunch Of Debrie Went Thru The Pipes And Ended Up In My Kitchen And Bathroom Sink.

[@FixItFrench]

Yep, this often happens because of the water heater. Glad you were able to get it fixed. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@rbar6681]

You are a life saver! And money saver too! To think I was about to spend hundreds on a plumber! Thank you!

[@CP-kb1du]

Much respect 5 mins repair my bath sink had low pressure for 2 years bummer waiting to shave , piece of rubber was suck inside the hot water line home is only 3 years old ..... 5 stars . new subscriber

[@FixItFrench]

So glad to hear I could help! Let me know if you have any more trouble with it. You’re the first person to tell me you found rubber inside the hose. Hoping it wasn’t the “O” ring that seals the hose on. If you start noticing a little bit of water leaking, you will probably need to get a new O-ring. It’s only like $0.45, and it’s really easy to install

[@RedHood22]

thank you so much! my problem was that little cap where the water comes out, turns out there were little rocks stuck that didn't let the water out, I was so scared now I'm relieved
