We just had a new bathtub faucet installed and it leaks. The plumber claims it is due to low water pressure. Is that true?
No, too high of water pressure causes problems.
What should you do if you have good hot water pressure throughout your house except for the upstairs bathtub where it is just a trickle?
Replace the tub faucet.
Bathtub Faucet?

What would cause water pressure to drop at only 1 sink?
A clogged aerator on the end of the faucet would cause the water flow to decrease in that faucet.
What causes high water pressure in the first faucet on the water line from where it enters the house. The cold water is under high pressure but other faucets in house are fine.?
Possibly a pressure reducing valve installed after piping for first faucet, which would cause situation describing.
What would cause a tub faucet to lose water pressure when the other faucets work?

What would cause a black silt to come from the bathtub and shower faucet for about fifteen seconds?
You should purge all your water pipes of built in sediment. Don't forget, you are drinking the water too!
Why does orange water come out when you first turn on the faucet in the bathtub?
mostly because of rust deposits
Do you need to turn water off while replacing new bathtub faucet?
Yes, you certainly do.
Why would the whole house's water pressure dwindle to zero when you turn on the bathtub faucet which has not been used for 6 months?
The mains water has probably been turned off and turning on the tub has drained the tank.
Your water pipes in your bathtub make a howling noise. When you open the sink faucet it stops or if you wait long enough it stops on its own. How do you solve this problem?
Could be the washer vibrating in the bath faucet/mixer. Over time, washers can degrade and become floppy or develop a rough surface. High pressure water over the surface can act like air past a clarinet reed. Opening the sink faucet takes the water feed pressure off the bath faucet, stopping the vibration.
What can cause loss of water pressure in a faucet when all other faucets work fine?
Unscrew the aerator from the end of the faucet where the water comes out and clean the screen. Sediment build up slows the flow.
