This video saved my sanity. After tearing apart a wall to replace a supply line that had been clogged, I put everything back together only to find the hot side still had low pressure. I was ready to tear it all back out, but googled the problem first. I was able to clear the debris from the mixing valve in seconds. You, sir, are my hero.
I can relate. Word by word. I almost ..almost today spent almost $200 on new faucet..holy moly..the prices of fsucetd at hone depot..simply obnoxious. I feel.so lucky to stumble upon tjis video. Hot water pressure is on FULL.
Incredible. We had been living with low hot water pressure for about a year. Stumbled upon this video, took 5 minutes, and it’s completely fixed. Thanks for posting!
Yes! Did the trick for me. A finer point on the sequence, at least, this is what I found. Start with the valve open on the hot side, rotate to cold (keeping valve open), run for 5 secs (or more), switch back to hot (again, staying open). Leave it on the hot side and allow the water to release out of the hot line. 5-10 seconds. When it slows to barely a drip, repeat the sequence. As you repeat the sequence, you'll see less and less water backing out of the line. When I got no more backflow, I re-connected. I did the whole thing three times, with debris coming out each time. I could've kept going, but I'm inpatient, and it came back to 95% of the cold water side, which was good enough for me. Thanks!
I didn’t get very much sediment out of my 1.5 year Moen kitchen sink, but the few bits of white must have been enough to slow the flow, as the technique worked.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was getting so frustrated. I just installed a new kitchen faucet today. I had to pull it all back apart and make sure there were no blockages. I checked the supply lines too. Then I was told there might be a blockage from my water heater to my sink. My water heater is in my attic. I was not happy to hear I might have to crawl up there and possibly go into a wall looking for a clogged pipe. ALL other faucets were working perfectly. Then I jumped on here desperate and found your video. It took less than 5 minutes and ALL this black rubber looking rocks/gunk came out. It's working perfectly now. You rock!!!
Helped me today big time! It worked, I had to reconnect the hot water supply line, turn the valve back on. Turn back off and repeat probably 10 times. Each time seeing more debris and eventually more flow. Then I hooked it back up and there was more pressure than ever! Just wanted to say that in case someone thinks it's not working. Keep putting it back together, run it, take it back apart see if you're still getting more debris and it will eventually clear out. At least ours did! So stoked!
You deserve an Academy Award for “Best Useful Advice of the DECADE”! I have 5 bathroom Delta faucets, 2 kitchen Delta faucets and 1 laundry room Delta faucet. One of the faucets had very LOW HOT WATER FLOW RATE. I tried your extremely simple advice and now the hot water flow rate is exactly as good as the cold water flow rate. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This was a life changer. I had talked to several ‘plumbers’ and the gas all kind of ideas. This has been a problem for over a year. Followed the steps and it “WORKED!!!” Now have the hot water pressure I expected. It took me longer to remove all the stuff under the sink then it did to fix the issue. 😁. Thank you so much.
Like other comments here I had almost NO hot water pressure and no matter what I did, I couldn't figure out WHY it was only a trickle. I stumbled upon this video while searching for a solution, tried it and saw all the stuff that was clogging the hot water line spill out into the bucket! Once I reconnected the line I had FULL PRESSURE HOT WATER! Many thanks for making my day!!!
This video has saved us *two* sinks (and a lot of $$$ and headaches)! We fixed our bathroom sink a few months ago, then when my father-in-law had new kitchen counters installed and the hot line on the kitchen sink only put out a trickle, we knew exactly what to do. Thank you!!
This solution fixed my problem in under 10 minutes. That's especially impressive since the plumber said we'd need to replace the entire faucet! thanks man!
After 2 years living with a reduced volume of water this video illuminated my mind , a professional who"s time is money recommended a new faucet but my faucet was in a to good condition. Thank you very much .
Thanks so much for such a direct and simple video. I just bought a brand new faucet from costco 3 weeks ago. My husband just went to do the dishes and boom, hot water pressure gone. He had a fit I bought a crappy costco faucet and stressing out how life sucks lol (it's a moen) I googled how to fix hot water pressure in kitchen and your video was the first to come up. It wasnt the faucet. He flushed it and a bunch of black stuff came out like yours. You fixed the problem and saved us from having a fight lol thank you!!
After thinking my new faucets internals melted, and a trip to home depot for a replacement and having the same issue. I can say this video helped me fix the issue instead of getting another replacement!
This worked like a charm on my Pfister kitchen one handle faucet. After 8 years or so, the cold water pressure was fine but the hot water was down to almost a trickle. I was about to buy a new kitchen faucet. I tried this 3 times and after each time I would hook up the hot water line and turn on the valve. Each time I redid this I got a little more sediment and now the hot and cold are the same pressure. Thanks!!!
Bro! Dude! This method totally works. I took my kitchen faucet apart and this whole time the solution was so easy! Thank you for this knowledge sir!!! Have a blessed day!!!
Okay. I never leave a comment, but I just had to. I hooked up my new dishwasher that finally came in yesterday. All the sudden, my faucet didn’t work right. I was wicked irritated that one problem fixed caused yet another. I googled, saw this, tried it, and it worked immediately. Took a min. Thank you for saving me from being in a bad mood, which would tick off my house, and a downward burnout spiral of pointless projection arguments that follow.
Haven't repaired mine yet, but based on the comments, it's safe to say that my problem will be resolved as soon as I follow your money saving instructions. Thank you.
I literally just had the utility company come out because I thought the problem was my hot water tank. The tech explained to me that it was my piping and the whole house needed the galvanized pipes replaced. 3 minutes into this video I have full pressure in my kitchen sink and shower 🚿. Thank you!
It worked!!! I had tried about 6 different (and time consuming) trouble shooting suggestions that did not work. This took about 2 minutes and I have water pressure again! Thanks so much for posting!
Thank you. It worked great for a few seconds then both hot and cold had decreased water pressure. Turns out that some crud had gotten to the cartridge in our Moen faucet. My husband took out the cartridge and let water pour into a pitcher and more crud came out. He also disconnected the aerator and cleaned that as well. Thank you so much. Saved us a plumbers appointment.
You, are a Golden God! I replaced a 3/8” tee, a globe angle valve and no luck. I was ready to go buy a new faucet then saw your video. I thought, “no way”! You ROCK! 👍🏻
I doubted this was the cause of my almost complete lack of hot water flow on my kitchen faucet. However I did exactly what was demonstrated here and full water flow was restored. Thanks so much!!!
Holy crap man you’re my savior! My hot water was a trickle for over a YEAR. I did this and BAM! Hot water working again! It’s just as strong as the cold water now! Thanks! Who knew a few little particles could effect the pressure so much!
What a life saver this video is... I have a two handle faucet set up so the back flush procedure was slightly different, but the results were just as successful...
This is the only video you need to watch. I noticed our hot water pressure in the sink was low. I turned the valve to increase the pressure and the pressure got worse. Now, I have no hot water. I tried to get a hold of a few plumbers but because of the Christmas holiday they were days out. My wife was going to cancel Christmas breakfast if I couldn't fix the sink. I told her we can still wash with cold water and besides we have a dishwasher. She refused... Within minutes of watching this video I now have full blast hot water. Thank you
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Worked perfectly to flush out a "rock" about the size of 1/2 pea. It appeared to have metal filings with calcium all around it. I backflushed it right into the little bucket. Now everything works fine. PfisterCompany said to buy another cartridge, which we did, that didn't work at all to solve the problem. Pfister should have a direct link to your video. BTW, I am a 74 year old female and did the work all by myself with the help of your video. Thank you again.
This worked for my wife and I after installing a Delta faucet. Worked fine for about a week then the exact issues happened to us. Thank you for this video and God bless!
Can't understand why a new faucet would have so much gunk in it. Terrible workmanship if you ask me. Just installed a new faucet and having the same problem. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks sir for posting a solution.
Thank you for the video. Just had a new hot water heater installed. Water in the kitchen was running slow because of the old debris. This fixed the issue in 10 minutes. Bravo!
I replaced the leaking shut off valve thinking that would solve the low pressure issue as well. I saw your video and gave it a try. Much black coal debris was flushed using this method and pressure back to normal. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this advice. Went on a trip in June and was gone for a month. Came back and hot water pressure was severely reduced. I procrastinated for several months and finally on New Years day started looking for some DIY videos and found this one. Easy fix, probably took longer to clear out the clutter under the sink than it did to fix the issue. Thanks again.
Worked like magic! I thought I'd have to get a plumber to clear my lines. Surprisingly, no debris that I could see was captured, but the pressure was restored to normal. Your quick and simple video saved us money and I learned a new fix for the future. Thanks for taking the time to educate the masses!
Oh thank you thank you!! This video was my second find in UA-cam to try and help my sadness of my new faucet not working properly and we tried it and mystery solved and happiness restored!! THANK YOU 😊
Thank you! You are spot on! This fixed my problem. After I installed my new dishwasher the hot water flow stopped. I went on You Tube for some help but found non until I came across your video. This was a simple fix. Listening to all the others sounded really complicated.
This happened to me right after I replaced our kitchen sink faucet cartridge so I thought I had done something wrong in that process. But I found your video and I am so happy because it fixed the problem and now I have hot water and a non leaking faucet. I’m so grateful! Thank you!
My hot water flow was a little more than a trickle. This video saved me a lot of work and money, the technique worked the first time. my wife and I thank you Sir. This man should have a patrion account to be compensated by the diy’ers he’s saved time money and aggravation.
I had put off getting my low water pressure fixed because I thought it would require hundreds of dollars and a plumber... I fixed it myself after watching your video!! Thank you!!
My plumber quoted me $1000 to replace the entire galvanized pipe to my kitchen faucet- said it most likely was a build up in my pipes. How wrong was he! Your tip fixed the slow flow for free! Thank you!
Husband was ready to spend big bucks to replace faucet until I saw this video. He said there was no way this would work and he had done everything else …but I insisted and what could it hurt……. My husband for the first time ever said he should have listened to me the first time THANK YOU! Hot water now with pressure in my sink!
THANK YOU. I installed a new sink today and everything went smoothly, until it didn’t. This solved the problem. You saved me from having to call a plumber.
Thank you so much for posting this video!! I did just what you did and was amazed at the sediment , rusty metal flakes and crap that was making my hot side of the faucet barely produce a trickle. You saved me a plumber call and it was great to be able to fix it myself! You are sooo the man! My hot side now has very nice flow like it did when it was brand new. Woohoo!!
Wow! Thank you for helping me get to the bottom of my issue. I was beyond frustrated after hooking up my dishwasher and then not getting hot water to my faucet. Didn't make sense but it worked like a charm. I flushed a ton of particles out. Works great now!
Worked for me. Thank you! I would have been chasing down all other bad solutions. Never thought of a problem in the mixer and wouldn’t have known how to get at it.
I thought I was going to have to tear out a wall to fix mix slow hot water in the bathroom. This video saved my bacon. Tip: just turn the water faucet on between hot and cold and the water runs right to the hot water side from the cold side. I had to do this about 4 times, connecting and disconnecting the hot water line each time to flush in both directions before my valve finally cleared.
I was pulling my hair out (what's left) trying to figure out to fix this very issue. I was about ready to toss my faucet and get a new one when I came across this video. Thanks for making it, and in particular keeping it brief and to the point. Well done!
Thank you!! This fixed my problem, after I had to replace the hot water heater. A few small specks of rusted metal for flushed out, and it then worked perfectly.
Thanks for this video! After I flushed my hot water heater, I only had a trickle of hot water coming out of my Delta kitchen faucet. I followed your advice and problem solved!
Thank you very much. My granddaughter and I had just installed our new faucet but puzzled by trickle of hot water. Your fix was amazing. Lots of black plastic in line.
Thank you!! We moved into our 1940 home 1 year ago and our hot water in the kitchen sink has only ever been a trickle. We fixed it thanks to your advice!
This totally helped! I had already run water through the line so I knew it wasn't clogged. I unhooked the hot water line and did this flush. I found out that the o-ring had turned sideways. I reseated it and was good to go! Thanks for the video and the recommendation!
Thank you so much for this video!!! My apartment's kitchen sink always had low hot water pressure and then tonight it had none. This video saved my life!
Thanks for this video! Such an easy fix after a frustrating time trying to figure this problem out. My handy father and I (not handy) tried everything but this. I wouldn’t have thought this would’ve been an issue as I just installed a newish faucet and lines within the last two years, but low and behold, you were right!! Again thanks
Like other people on this comment section, this video saved me a visit from the plumbers. Thank you! For people trying this out: to have the cold water back flow into the hot water supply line, you need to have the water on from the faucet and shift it slowly from the hot and cold position. Hope this helps.
I read tons of articles, watched a bunch of videos, and could NOT get my damn hot water to improve on my kitchen faucet. I was this close to calling a plumber when I decided to try again, and your video saved the day! Sent a donation in as thanks :)
@@HomeAdditionPlus unfortunately the fix didn't stick, but now I think I know the location at least. I'll have to try to do some more rinsing, and maybe unmount the faucet (the hose goes up into the faucet and I can't access the faucet side connector from under the sink)
Thank you so much!! After months of trying to figure out what was causing low hot water pressure. Your you tube video fixed it in less than 10 minutes. Thank you again!!
I definitely appreciate this video!!!! Was able to save my parents some money because they were about to call a plumber! Did exactly what you said in the video and it worked perfectly!!!!
Thank you so much! This video was short, simple, and to the point, and it fixed my water pressure issue in less than five minutes! In fact, the longest part was reconnecting the hose, and only because I misplaced my crescent wrench and was having to do it with a pair of pliers.
Thank you so much for sharing your video....I was going to call a plumber or a handyman...But they took to long to get back with me. Talk to my son and he suggested going to you tube , and we found your post...I don't mind paying for service(s), but when people take to long to get back with me, ugh! Thanks again!
Great video and saved me a ton of troubleshooting! Took me two attempts to get back to full. First time the pressure was only back to 30% or so, but I knew it was working. Did it for longer the 2nd time and back to 100%. Thanks!
You my friend are brilliant!!! Thank you for saving my marriage!!! Wife was off my back in 10 minutes. I was dreading digging into this project or possibly calling a plumber...literally a 5 minute fix, awesomeness!!!🙏🤘👍
Thanks that worked like a charm. The gunk that came out was part of a rubber washer. Not sure were it came from but nothing is leaking so I think we are good. Thanks again.
Thank you!!!! You saved my life!!! I watched so many other videos before fining this one and nothing worked until watching this one. I couldn't believe how much stuff came out from this only a year and half old faucet. Thank you!!!!
OMG Thank you! I have been replacing my kitchen faucet about every 2 years! Was about to install a new one but thought I'd try this first. Only 2 tiny lil stones came out but that did it! Hot water flow is equal to cold flow now! Returning the faucet today!
This video saved my sanity. After tearing apart a wall to replace a supply line that had been clogged, I put everything back together only to find the hot side still had low pressure. I was ready to tear it all back out, but googled the problem first. I was able to clear the debris from the mixing valve in seconds. You, sir, are my hero.
Dittos here!
😂 I was ready to rip my entire faucet apart to check the valve, this fixed it in less than 3 minutes of effort.
I can relate. Word by word. I almost ..almost today spent almost $200 on new faucet..holy moly..the prices of fsucetd at hone depot..simply obnoxious. I feel.so lucky to stumble upon tjis video. Hot water pressure is on FULL.
Incredible. We had been living with low hot water pressure for about a year. Stumbled upon this video, took 5 minutes, and it’s completely fixed. Thanks for posting!
Exactly my situation. This tiny little piece of information had such incredible value.
Yes! Did the trick for me. A finer point on the sequence, at least, this is what I found. Start with the valve open on the hot side, rotate to cold (keeping valve open), run for 5 secs (or more), switch back to hot (again, staying open).

I could've kept going, but I'm inpatient, and it came back to 95% of the cold water side, which was good enough for me. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment, it took me three attempts to get it unclogged including sone twisting of the hose!
I didn’t get very much sediment out of my 1.5 year Moen kitchen sink, but the few bits of white must have been enough to slow the flow, as the technique worked.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was getting so frustrated. I just installed a new kitchen faucet today. I had to pull it all back apart and make sure there were no blockages. I checked the supply lines too.

OMG… This worked. And my wife let me sit around on the couch for the rest of the Saturday after my triumph. Thank You Bro!!!

THANK YOU! Hot water now with pressure in my sink!
I put up with a low pressure sink for two years. Fixed it in 10 minutes thanks to your video.
Excellent!
Thank you for this great tip on restoring water pressure on faucets. It was very simple and easy to do and now my faucet works great.
Thank you!! I was afraid I was going to have to replace my faucet, $$. All this cost me was about 10 minutes of my time. It worked perfectly.
THANK YOU. I installed a new sink today and everything went smoothly, until it didn’t. This solved the problem. You saved me from having to call a plumber.
Thank you so much! I tried everything and I was about to give up and go buy a new faucet. This saved me, wish I had found your video sooner!

Thank you!! This fixed my problem, after I had to replace the hot water heater. A few small specks of rusted metal for flushed out, and it then worked perfectly.
Thanks for this video! After I flushed my hot water heater, I only had a trickle of hot water coming out of my Delta kitchen faucet. I followed your advice and problem solved!
You are a lifesaver man. This has been killing me for weeks. Runs like new now!
Thank you for this great tutorial. You saved me time, a plumber visit, and a little sanity.
Thank you very much. My granddaughter and I had just installed our new faucet but puzzled by trickle of hot water. Your fix was amazing. Lots of black plastic in line.
The steps worked. Tried many suggestions and this worked in less than 5 mins.
Thank you!! We moved into our 1940 home 1 year ago and our hot water in the kitchen sink has only ever been a trickle. We fixed it thanks to your advice!
You just saved me so much money, taught me something important, and made my weekend a whole lot better. Thank you!!!
Thank you! When troubleshooting anything I always think it's the worst thing possible. This took 30 seconds and made the wife very happy.
This totally helped! I had already run water through the line so I knew it wasn't clogged. I unhooked the hot water line and did this flush. I found out that the o-ring had turned sideways. I reseated it and was good to go! Thanks for the video and the recommendation!
Thank you so much for this video!!! My apartment's kitchen sink always had low hot water pressure and then tonight it had none. This video saved my life!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this video! Such an easy fix after a frustrating time trying to figure this problem out. My handy father and I (not handy) tried everything but this. I wouldn’t have thought this would’ve been an issue as I just installed a newish faucet and lines within the last two years, but low and behold, you were right!! Again thanks
Thank god i found your video. I been recking my brain on trying to figure out what the problem was and lord and behold your technique worked.
Like other people on this comment section, this video saved me a visit from the plumbers. Thank you! For people trying this out: to have the cold water back flow into the hot water supply line, you need to have the water on from the faucet and shift it slowly from the hot and cold position. Hope this helps.
Just solved my annoying problem with low hot water pressure in a brand new faucet following this video. Thank you!
Glad I was of help.
Thank you thank you thank you. This worked and as someone else said, it took longer to clean out the cabinet than it did to fix the pressure issue.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You helped to relieve some stress after a storm! Brand new faucet is up and running!
I read tons of articles, watched a bunch of videos, and could NOT get my damn hot water to improve on my kitchen faucet. I was this close to calling a plumber when I decided to try again, and your video saved the day! Sent a donation in as thanks :)
Glad to hear my video was of help and thank you for the donation. Much appreciated.
@@HomeAdditionPlus unfortunately the fix didn't stick, but now I think I know the location at least. I'll have to try to do some more rinsing, and maybe unmount the faucet (the hose goes up into the faucet and I can't access the faucet side connector from under the sink)
Thank you so much!! After months of trying to figure out what was causing low hot water pressure. Your you tube video fixed it in less than 10 minutes. Thank you again!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for putting this video up. I tried it and it saved me a bunch of money.
I definitely appreciate this video!!!! Was able to save my parents some money because they were about to call a plumber! Did exactly what you said in the video and it worked perfectly!!!!
Thank you so much! This video was short, simple, and to the point, and it fixed my water pressure issue in less than five minutes! In fact, the longest part was reconnecting the hose, and only because I misplaced my crescent wrench and was having to do it with a pair of pliers.
Glad it helped!
Thank you!!! Problem solved after 5 months of trickling hot water in the kitchen. I was just about to call a plumber, luckily I found you on UA-cam U.
Works!!!! Just need to pull back and forward a few lot of times. Between cold and hot. Then works! Thanks
Thank you man!! As the comment below you saved my sanity!! I knew debris was the problem and couldn’t disassemble the faucet to get out.. cheers!!!
One of the simplest solutions to a problem that I feared was much larger and much more expensive to solve. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! I used this today at my job. I’m new to maintenance
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your video....I was going to call a plumber or a handyman...But they took to long to get back with me. Talk to my son and he suggested going to you tube , and we found your post...I don't mind paying for service(s), but when people take to long to get back with me, ugh! Thanks again!
Great video and saved me a ton of troubleshooting! Took me two attempts to get back to full. First time the pressure was only back to 30% or so, but I knew it was working. Did it for longer the 2nd time and back to 100%. Thanks!
Thank you! Your method worked just like your video showed. The gunk that came out looked very similar to yours. What a relief!
This worked for me. Elegantly simple. Thanks!
I'm just a mom, but I was able to do this in 5 minutes! And boom! Hot water coming out strong! Thanks for the simple tip :)
Thank you for this video. I ficed my faucet today. I almist bought new faucet when I decided to search on you tube. Thanks again.
I've had bad pressure for a couple years and was tired if it, this fixed the issue in just a few minutes
You my friend are brilliant!!! Thank you for saving my marriage!!! Wife was off my back in 10 minutes. I was dreading digging into this project or possibly calling a plumber...literally a 5 minute fix, awesomeness!!!🙏🤘👍
Glad to know I saved another marriage with this video! You are probably the 20th person who has told me that with this video.
Thanks that worked like a charm. The gunk that came out was part of a rubber washer. Not sure were it came from but nothing is leaking so I think we are good. Thanks again.
Thank you!!!! You saved my life!!! I watched so many other videos before fining this one and nothing worked until watching this one. I couldn't believe how much stuff came out from this only a year and half old faucet.
Thank you!!!!
Woohoo! We have pressure once again. Almost went bananas trying to figure out why I couldn’t sort it out. Thanks for the great fix!
Exactly my problem with a brand new Moen bathroom faucet and exactly the solution that fixed it. Thank you!!!
Glad it helped!
OMG Thank you! I have been replacing my kitchen faucet about every 2 years! Was about to install a new one but thought I'd try this first. Only 2 tiny lil stones came out but that did it! Hot water flow is equal to cold flow now! Returning the faucet today!
thanks guys!
this was a way better video,, crucial to alternate between cold and hot,, that cleared out the line for me finally!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I said to myself, no way this will work it’s way to easy. I was wrong
Worked like a charm. Thanks
