you can improve water pressure by installing a booster pump or if on a well then turn up your set pressure. If you had good pressure before and now are having poor pressure then it could be many reasons.

Low to no water pressure in the house, what is the problem?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
A booster pump will improve your pressure by making the stream more even with no sudden bursts or sputters.
Perhaps the filter screen is blocked, which you can clean and replace. This may improve the flow through that faucet.
Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.
how do i increase water pressure to the house if you have city water?
There is usually a main water valve that comes into the house, locate this valve and turn it down. Installing a pressure reducing valve after water main valve will allow for adjustment of water pressure to proper setting.
Area water authority could have increased water main pressure, no or defective expansion tank in house main water line if house has a backflow preventer installed, or defective /not properly set pressure reducing valve.
MIN pressure shall be 8 PSI
A break in the line from curb to house, or from well to house. in some cases pressure reducers have a screen in it. Best is to start at one end and check for leaks, and if possible check for water pressure.
House is not that blessed. House is so much more officiated
Low pressure coming into the house. Pressure regulator on the line where it enters the house. Old pipes full of buildup. Screens on faucets clogged.
If you are on a well it means you have a problem in the pressure tank. On city water means pressure in general is down, or your PRV is failing.
Install a pressure reducing valve
House pressure, 75 PSI maximum.
you do not have pressure from the source or the line from the source has broken
Yes, because the water you are recirculating is already past the pressure regulator.
It will be close to the inside wall where the water supply passes into the house from the line going towards the water meret.
poor water pressure from your city. Or if you are on a well, the pump might be going bad.
between 400 and 600 kpa
Possibly a pressure reducing valve installed after piping for first faucet, which would cause situation describing.
You could adjust your PRV(Pressure reducing Valve)to 25 PSI
The water pressure in my house is about 140PSI. Which is definitely dangerous. It happens more often than you would think. What happens is a city will use water supply lines which are too small for the water requirements. Therefore, they have to increase the pressure. You wouldn't want a pressure relief valve, because then if the pressure was too high, it would just spray water everywhere to release the pressure. You would want a pressure regulator installed, which is what I am working on for my house right now. Just to let you know though, you may have to get a thermal expansion tank for your water heater if you don't have one. See, the new pressure regulators have a check valve in them, which prevents water from traveling back into the city pipes once it has gotten into your house. When your water heater heats the water, the air bubbles in it expand, which increases the water pressure, and will probably cause your pressure relief valve on your water heater to blow. You can get a cheap water pressure meter at any improvement store to check it out. 50-60 PSI is ok. I would say you could take it up to 70 or 80 PSI safely.
If it's a bladder tank, it should always have "Air" pressure but if the pump isn't working, you still wouldn't have water in the house.
Your faucet may be clogged. If you have good pressure elsewhere in the house, this is your most likely culprit. You may just have crappy overall water pressure. If you don't have good pressure in the tub or elsewhere, consult with a plumber about installing a pressure tank to increase your water pressure.
