When I Had to shut off the cold and hot water now it is turned back on but doesn't work in all faucets?

Very often when the water is shut off and turned back on, mineral deposits come loose and plug the screen in the faucet spout. That's the first place to look. It may be in the faucet itself. If neither side works, look at the spout, if it is only one side, check the side that isn't working.

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.
Why is water leaking on the downstairs ceiling when the H or C faucets on the upstairs tub are turned on if it is not leaking through the drain or tub?
If the tub has a shower as well, the pipe from the faucet to the shower head could be leaking. You might also check the tube that comes OUT and fills the tub. It could be leaking back at the valve when you turn on the water.
How do you get air out your water lines?
It depends on your system. If your on city water you should be able to pull off the airaters on the sinks and open up all your fixtures until the air is out. If your on a well you could try the same thing. If it doesen't work on a well it could be that your well pump isn't filling your tank as fast as your booster pump is suplying your lines while your using your water. This can create a vortex in your tank that will suck air into the pump. I actually had the same problem and I did the one about turning off the water main, opening up all the faucets etc and it really worked! If I were you I would try this before calling that plumber. It is a great way to resolve having air in your water lines!!! Thanks again. I've seen a lot of questions about air in the water lines but not many answers. I went on vacation for about a week, and when I came back, I noticed some sputtering of air, mostly on the hot water side. This trick worked for me, hopefully it helps you too: I turned off the water main (outside) and opened ALL of the faucets (hot and cold knobs on full) in the house (sinks, tubs) and flushed the toilets. Ok, so flushing is probably overkill. I then turned on the water main and let each faucet run until I didn't hear any sputtering/bubbling/etc. Before turning them all the way off, I let just the hot water run for a little bit longer, and there was still some more air in that side. Once it seemed the air was "cleared", I turned off all the faucets. Haven't had any sputtering since. Good luck! Had the same problem; turned off main and turned on all faucets and voided all the water. Kept faucets open and turned main on to clear out the air. Water flowed well after that.
Why wont the water come back on in the house after the water main is turned off then on?

When a house has been winterized and the heat and the water has been turned off what needs to be done prior to turning the water back on?
Make sure all the faucets are turned off and turn the main water on . Check for leaks visually as much as possible. Sometimes something was missed when it was winterize and a leak has developed. Turn on each faucet slowly to get the air out of the lines. In some areas with hard water you may need to take the screens off of the spouts and remove sediment that has come off the inside of the pipes when they were dry.
Can water vapour be turned back to liquid?
Yes, in the atmosphere water vapour falls as rain.
Does water pressure need to build up after you turn the water valve off because you had half the water pressure you did when you turned the water valve back on to your sink?
No, water pressure is immediate. If you replaced the sink faucet you probably ended up with one of the "low flow" faucets that are being produced to save water. Sometimes they can be taken apart and "encouraged" to let more water through. if the valve had no been used in awile the gasket will stick when you turn it off and back on replace the valve with a quarter turn ball type valve and you wont have this problem again
How do you change the belt on a GE profile washer?
To change the belt on a GE profile washer, remove the back panel with a nut drive or a screwdriver. Turn off the water faucets and disconnect the water hoses. Then remove the old belt and replace with a new one. Reconnect the water hoses, put the back on, and turn on the water.
Can water vapour be turned back into liquid water?
Yes water vapour or steam can be reverted back to water through the process known as condensing. If the steam is collected and cooled it will turn to water droplets that can be collected as water.
Why is the formation of water in a car engine a chemical change but when the ice meltws to form water it is not a chemical change?
the formation of water in a car engine cannot be chnaged bakc to its original state. If you melt ice, it can be turned back into ice. A chemical change cannot be turned back into its original form. But a physical chnage can be turned bakc into its original form.
Process by which vapors change to liquid?
Steam is turned back into water by the process of condensation.
Can plaster of Paris be turned back into powder?
Sure! But what it probably can't be turned back into is usable plaster. They make plaster by dehydrating gypsum. When you add water to it, the gypsum particles absorb water. Unless you dry the powder you made out, you can't use it again.
