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.
