Low water pressue is caused by debris in the line, depending on the type of pipe, ie. galvanized produces buildup which restricts flow. Foul smell is caused by food particles in your disposal. This can be easily corrected by pouring bleach down your drain, also check to make sure trap is not dry.
Ans 2 - That's two different problems. You don't say if you're on a city system or a well. If a well then you likely have your own septic tank too. If it's a city system the pressure can be increased at the PRV ( a valve that is always at the point where city water enters the house.) -If on a well, pressure can always be adjusted at the pressure tank. -But be careful, if pressure has reduced recently then you need to find out why first and fix the problem, (there can be many problems and we need far more detail for a proper diagnosis. Also if on your own septic field it's NOT a good idea to pour bleach down any drain - it kills the microbes in your septic system ! A full sink of very hot water will accomplish the same thing.

∙ 14y agoThis could be a number of issues from the washer expanding due to over use of time which would restrict the flow of water. Or it could mean that the water pipe itself is clogged up and may need replacement

∙ 11y agoRemove the aerator and check flow without it. If flow is good then clean or replace the aerator. If flow is still not good then there is a problem in the faucet. Either take it apart and fix it or replace the set (which is usually easier)

When flushing toilet all other faucets have no pressure?
Low water pressure or cold water main undersized.
Why is water pressure still low after turning back on the secondary water faucets?
The water pressure could be low due to a leak in the line or water is being ran somewhere else.
What causes low water pressure in just one set of faucets when all other faucets on the house have good pressure?
You have to undo the aerator at the end of the faucet and clean the screen or plastic water saver out. It will be plugged with sand or sediment.
How do you check water pressure at faucet?
If your water pressure is low at all faucets, you can buy a gauge to fit faucets threaded for garden hose, they are about $10. You pressure should be 40-55psi. If pressure is low at all faucets, you may have a faulty PRV. This is the bell shaped regulator usually fitted where the water enters the building. A plumber can change these easily. Part costs about $60 and takes an hour to change -I do many and they are usually simple to change. If the pressure is low at just one faucet then remove and change the aerator. If that doesn't fix the problem you have a blockage in the shut off valve below it.
What would the pressure in your kitchen faucet be low if all other sinks in the house are fine?
Most of the newer kitchen faucets have "flow restrictors" to limit water use.
Is air pressure inside a building high or low?
the air pressure is a bulding is high because the outside is pressure is low
When 1 straw is in the glass of water and the other is outside the glass why doesn't any water come in when sucked on both straws?
First consider just sucking on a straw. You are creating a lower air pressure in your lungs by performing a volume expansion. This internal low pressure doesn't last long because outside air rushes in to equalize the pressure both inside and out. You cannot suck in enough air to serious or even detectiably alter the pressure of the whole atmosphere. Second consider sucking on a straw in a glass of water. You create a low pressure region inside of you by performing a volume expansion. The outside air wants to equalize the pressure both inside and out but there's a big hunk of water in the way. So the outside air pressure pushes the water up the straw by pushing down on the surface of the water. The height that the water goes up to depends on the weight of the column of water in the straw and the difference between the outside and inside air pressure. In other words how high up the water goes depends on how hard you inhale (work). Thirdly consider two straws one inside a glass of water, the other free to the outside air. When you inhale you perform a volume expansion which creates a low pressure region inside of you. The outside air rushes in the straw that is free to the outside air and equalizes the air pressure both inside and outside. Consequently there is no pressure difference that would cause the water to be forced up the straw.
Do Moen or Kohler make low flow faucets for the bathroom or do they just have showerheads and kitchen faucets that are low flow?
Moen and Kohler both make low flow faucets for the bathroom. They provide them in several styles each.
How does a submarine implode?
At very low depths, water pressure becomes exceedingly high. If a submarine submerges below it's depth tolerance, the water pressure outside will exceed the limits of the pressure hull which maintains a normal air pressure for the crew. This will collapse the hull. This is referred to an implosion because the destruction comes from the outside in a crushing manner.
What does error code ER mean on a brada dishwasher?
The manual for Brada model ep9242aww says: Error Code E1 = longer inlet time. Possible Causes: Faucets not opened, or water intake is restricted, or water pressure is too low.
Does water have a high or low pressure?
Water has a high pressure all the time.
When deep sea fishes are brought up to the surface of the sea their bodies burst?
the deep-sea water fishes are in equilibrium with the high pressure of the sea water outside i-e. blood in their bodies flows at very high pressure. when they are brought out the equilibrium is disturbed and the pressure outside becomes low which results in bursting of their bodies.
