1- Are you sure all the valves are fully open? 2- When opening the valves did yo take the precaution of opening them very, very slowly to prevent any sediment inside the piping to become dislodged and block the piping?

∙ 14y agoNo pressure anywhere or only hot water faucet? I'm guessing just at the faucets. Very often when you open up the water line rust and sediment will break off and plug the screens on the faucet. Sometimes it lodges in the faucet itself. Most faucets have a screen at the end of the spout that unscrews. I'll bet that solves your problem.

Why would a faucet have high water pressure when first turned on and then quickly slow down?
Generally this is caused by pressure being built up from the water getting hot in the hot water heater. By code you should have a hot water heater expansion tank on the cold water inlet of the water heater to absorb the added pressure. If this is your problem, the excessive pressure could possibly burst your water heater. The faucet stem or cartridge or washer may be loose or moving and blocking flow.
