- How to fix Low or No water pressure for the kitchen or bathroom faucet in no time!
Do you have low water pressure in your bathroom or kitchen sink? Or you might have no water coming out of the faucet at all.
Today I will show you how to fix it.
And if you follow my steps I will guarantee that your problem is going to be resolved in a matter no time.
The steps to resolve the issue are simple but you need to follow my steps and please don’t skip any.
I have had low water pressure issue with my kitchen tap for the past couple of days and it created me the opportunity to film it while fixing it.
Remember that the process is all the same for different types of both kitchen and bathroom faucets.

This is the kitchen tap that we are dealing with. And as you can see the water pressure in this faucet is very low. In your case there might be no water coming out at all, or you might have problem only with cold or hot water.
But remember that the process of troubleshooting and fixing is all the same and all you need is to follow my steps.
First you need to check other taps and make sure that the problem is not for the entire house.
Let’s check one of the faucets in the bathroom to make sure.
Here I’m in the bathroom, I’m turning the tap on and as you can see the water pressure is just fine and now I’m %100 sure that there is something wrong with the kitchen faucet.
Let’s go back to the kitchen.
Here in the kitchen we need to troubleshoot and find the source of the problem, and to do so, we need to start at the lowest point and check everything one by one.
This is called a shut off valve, hot supply line is always on the left and cold is on the right side.
You need to turn the valve off, disconnect the braided hose feeding the faucet and slightly open the valve and see if you are getting enough pressure. And here I have enough pressure for hot water and then I’m going to test the cold line. As you can see I have enough pressure in both hot and cold lines which means that the valves are just fine.
I connect both braided hoses back to proceed to the next step.
Now the next step for me is to check the faucet aerator and see if there is any blockage.
Let me open the aerator. There we go, I see some materials are blocking the aerator of the tap.
I have removed all the material build ups and let’s test the flow now.
As you can see my problem is resolved. And I can stop right here, but let me show you where else the problem could be!
Down here we have the shut off valves and the problem could be here, after the valve we have the supply hoses which could cause the problem, and then after the braided hoses we have the cartridge inside the faucet which had the potential to be problematic. So you need to test each of these mentioned parts one by one until you find where the problem is.

Thanks for posting this! Been suffering from low water pressure after leak at main. I cleaned out the aerator, but had low water pressure still but only in kitchen faucet. So problem is from main to kitchen faucet. After watching your video. I found an additional filter between 2 connecting braided hoses! The systemic troubleshoot start with checking the pressure from shutoff valve at hot and cold then to aerator was very useful! Thanks a bunch!!!
Thank you, I'm Happy that I could help.
@
This comment was a huge help. Didn't realize that the connected braided hoses also had a filter. Thank you so much!
@@NeverEndTheSilence me neither! It’s helped so much! 🎉💙
There was a water main break on my block and immediately after they fixed it, my hot water stopped coming out of all of my sinks but hot water comes out of my shower.
There is no way all 3 sinks in my house have a problem. What could stop the hot water from coming out, only cold water comes out of my sinks??
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a 15 year old girl and I didn't want my mom to stress about paying a plumber to fix our faucet, and this video helped me fix it. It turns out the aerator was clogged. I never knew it could be that simple👍
GREAT JOB! That very impressive, you can do anything you want with your drive.
Kudos to you young lady for fixing your faucet for your Mom, she must think you're a rock star!
Ditto - before watching this video, I wanted to automatically dismiss a clogged aerator as the problem because my mind reasoned that if you add some blockage, shouldn't "jets" of water still come out? Turns out that is not the case and indeed, my aerator is clogged - I copped a bit of a splash when I turned my tap (faucet) on without the aerator! 😂 I'm giving it a bit of a clean with vinegar right now.
Kiley what an awesome kiddo you are! I know your mom appreciates you! Have a great day!
You are a great human being and will do very well in life with an attitude and heart like that! You're awesome!
I had issues in the bathroom, this worked GREAT!!!! Thanks. I checked the faucet filter first before the shutoff valves and it was clogged with debris. The water was off in northTexas for a while so I suspected an airlock first. Your video saved the day, thanks again.
I have a different type of faucet in my kitchen, but I still followed your steps and was able to get it to work again! I had tiny rocks obstructing mine! How bizarre. Thank you for this video!! Very helpful!
Hello! I want to thank you for your easy explanation in your video! For the past week I had a very low trickle of water coming out of my bathroom faucet. I looked up a solution on UA-cam and came across your video. By taking off the aerator like you suggested, I saw that it was quite dirty so I took an old toothbrush and soap and washed it. Problem fixed! Thank God as I didn't want to contact the handyman for my building. I'm quite proud of myself for fixing this problem as I don't know anything about plumbing. Thanks again!
Thank you for the simple video!! I've been running lines and checking valves. 2 minutes after your video it was fixed!
My friend you are a life saver!!!! I was literally about to pay hundreds of dollars for someone to come “look at it and fix it”
Great video brotha. Quick easy fix. From and electrician to a plumber I thank you for the trade tutorials.
Thank you!! New to owning a home and I live in the mountains so house visits aren’t cheap. Fixed my sink in less than 5 minutes thanks to your hard work!
Your welcome, glad that it worked for you.
Wow, thanks for sharing this. I just fixed a low-pressure issue for my two bathrooms.
AWESOME video!!! Exactly what I needed to see. Followed each step and diagnosed it was the cartridge that was needing to be replaced.
I appreciate you! Pleasure to listen to you breakdown problems and find solutions. Thanks
Fabulous! Thank you so much. It was just the kitchen faucet and it had small gravelly debris in the aerator after an all night rain storm. Thank you for saving me a big plumbing bill!
Couldn’t believe it was just the faucet. Big help. Thank you!!
Bro I didn’t realize it was such an easy fix, thank you!
This advice worked like a charm. Thanks.
had no idea what I might be dealing with - watched your video - same problem-
aerator was all plugged up. I wouldn't have checked it otherwise.
so thank you!
Hi Glen, I'm happy that I could help.
@@PipeWrencher Man THANK YOU! I greatly appreciate this, I just installed a brand new sink was frustrated that it wouldn't work...Thanks a lot!👍🏾
Thank you so much. Water suddenly became a trickle. Looked at all sorts of plumbing videos, took tap apart, cartridge and all, refitted, no difference. Couldn't get a plumber. Didn't know what to do. Then your video came up. I thought here we go again telling me the same stuff. But you're the only one that mentioned aerator and showed how to do it and right enough in a few moments it's fixed.
Thanks again 👍👍👍
Thank you for the clear and helpful guidance!
Very clear and helpful. Thank you!
I just fix mine. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much my problem solved it was exact same problem you have shown.
AWESOME VIDEO!! This video helped me out a lot. Thanks!
WAwo after long time I have pressure in my bath tap I can’t believe that the problem was this small I was about to buy new tap thanks a lot mate u do deserve like and subscribe thanks
Just fixed mine by following your steps . It worked . Thanks .
Thank you so much!!!! You saved me from having to call a plumber and pay lots of money.
I just started from the aerator and that was the problem!
Thank you had low pressure for 2 years in my bath sink bummer to shave waiting 5 mins fix , new subscriber
thank you, man, this vid is very informative, I have an old system no aerators but I did fix leaking cold tap in the bathroom yesterday , after watching your presentation, I'm starting to wonder if washer I replaced is too big, thus restricting water flow, anyway at least now the problem is narrowed down, so thank you for that, I better get working on it.
I'm happy Ken that I could help.
Most faucets from 2010ish to 2018 had ridiculous restrictors put in to reduce flow ! I removed every single restrictor from every faucet in my house and it is so much better !
Thanks for sharing! This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
This was the video I was absolutely looking for! All the videos and forums that I've found only mentioned the aerator being the issue, but mine was not because of the aerator. Thank you so much!!
Nice video bro. I was having low pressure on my kitchen sink. Saw your video and copied what you did. And it worked. Thank you a lot
Thank you so much! I was starting to become stressed because the holidays are coming up and I don’t want to spend more money on unnecessary things especially with a one year old. Your video was the first to pop up and it solved my problem. Thank you for saving me $100 for service just for someone to come out to see about the problem.

keep it up bro! fixed our faucet in the bathroom! almost bought a new faucet. turned out it was the aerator all right..
Glad I could help
Nice knipex! I keep trying to convert coworkers to buying them but they seem content with their cheap groove style channels. If you havent gotten their flat edge pliers I'd really reccomend those as well.
This helped my bathroom sink. Simple fix, thanks so much!
WHEW... I'm so thankful for this video.
YAAAAAY, PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
This was very helpful!! Thank you for sharing!!
It worked. Thank you for clear advice..
Glad that it worked for you
any chance of a faucet cartridge replacement/breakdown/inspection video?
I didn't do the first part. Skipped to the 2nd part. Unscrewed my aerator. Yup. blockage. Took it out. Flows like before.
Thank you!!!! :)
Thank you so much for the video you save me from spending my money for plumber now my problem of having low water pressure in the kitchen faucet is solved
Excellent video thank you.I I thought i must have twisted the flexible tails when i tightened them after a leak but they were fine. Removed aerator. Sure enough lots of white gunk trapped in the mesh. You saved me from hours of frustration🙂
Thank you for posting this information. Have a blessed day!
Wow that was very helpful thank you
Thank you so much for this informative video! Recently divorced and need to learn how to do this myself. Being 47 it’s embarrassing to say I never knew how to do it. I know this is a 2 yr old video, but it’s helped me tremendously. I actually reversed it and check the top first, only bc once I’m down on the ground it takes me forever to get up…😂 just kidding but I felt it may of been the top as I have hard water, and I know it creates a lot of build up. It was in fact the the top causing issues, I’ve taken it back off after testing it to make sure the pressure was better, to soak in vinegar to help get that build up off. My nozzle isn’t like yours it’s bigger and rounder with multiple spray holes. (Sorry don’t know correct verbiage for it) Renting the house, but saves me and company money if I don’t need a plumber to come out. So thank you so so much for doing this. ❤️💙🙏🙏🙏
Hi Barb, I'm Glad that I could Help. Stay safe and stay strong.
You should check the faucet aerator for clogging first before removing the shut off valves.
Agreed! always the head first.
@@jih-shenshih5138 Unless the faucet aerator is one contiguous piece with the internal pex tubing of the faucet. Then you are screwed either way.
@@OWK000 Huh? Can you even attach an aerator to pex? Do you permanently glue a condom or do you zip tie it?
@@tocarules Heck! I didn't attach it myself, it was manufactured that way! And you get the idea: yes, the aerator was permanently bonded to the pex by plastic manufacturing weld. That was the problem! So when I tried to remove it, that action pulled apart pex bonds in other parts of faucet and the whole faucet leaked and had to be replaced. We were having major plumbing work done at the time and a lot of bits had knocked loose in the pipes, so the faucet was toast one way or the other.
I did just manage to remove the aerator from a newish bathroom faucet the other day and that one was screw on. Relief! They still make serviceable faucets.
Kim, are you really that young? Lol
I just replaced a customers bathroom faucet that was leaking. While there I also put new water hoses in. When I tested everything all was good. An hour or two after I left the wife text me and said hardly any pressure, water trickling out. I went back, turned water off at valves, no change. On a whim I went in to you tube and up came your video. I changed the aerator and the pressure is the best I've seen it. When I turned the water on with the aerator out a bunch of black crap came spitting out, the same black crap clogging the aerator.
Can't believe I didn't think of that, regardless, thank you.
Thank you for the easiest instructions! I was able to fix the issue in minutes
Brilliant video. I was about to call a plumber out but after watching your video I found lots of crud in the filter (aerator) at the end of the tap. From no pressure to loads of pressure. Thanks my friends
Thank you! That solved my problem, subscribed done✔
One of my sinks was really weak after I installed my tankless water heater. Your video helped me troubleshoot that the pipe dope from the hot side had plugged the screen. Thanks - Simple fix

Thank you for the aerator tip. That solved my problem
Thanks. It's working.. Amazing
Glad I could help.
Informative video. I went to the aureta faucet 1st and the problem was resolved!
I liked the fact that you showed the before and after, not like other people we don’t even know what the person did or we cannot see the difference really bad video but yours is a really good self-explanatory, thank you very much, keep up the good work
Very helpful, thank you!
Hi, my kitchen faucet wasn't working at all. I saw a few UA-cam clips and they showed how it could be the quick connect adapter near the under side of the sink. So I removed it and removed the inside valves. When I placed everything back it worked perfectly for a day but now it's flowing slow again. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much! I’ve had low pressure in my kitchen faucet since we brought the property, turns out the aerator was blocked! Fixed in five minutes what a lifesaver, thanks so much!!! Just wondering when attaching braided flexible hose you don’t need thread tape? Is that correct even when attaching to pvc thread also?
You help me so much....THANKS YOU.
Solved my problem, thank you
Welcome
Awesome video! Start with the aerator - it is easy to check first.
We’ll you’re awesome. Installed a new water heater and the kitchen sink wouldn’t work. After stressing for a day I decided to watch some videos. And yours came up. It was the aerator that was full of junk. You’re awesome.
Thank you! Your steps worked like a charm
