Why would you have different hot or cold water pressure at the faucets?

Answer 1

I have seen hot water pipes clog up where it screws into hot water heater check pressure at hot water drain valve on heater and see if it is alot higher pressure than another faucet in the house.if it is check for clog in pipe.

Answer 2

The aerator at the end of the spout needs to be unscrewed and the screen and/or water saver cleaned out. Before rescrewing the aerator back on, run the faucet and see if you have full pressure. If not, the spout itself sometimes gets plugged too.

Answer 3

Bad washer in the faucet partially blocking the flow. If it is both hot and cold, it is probably just sediment in the screen in the end of the spout. The tip unscrews and can be cleaned. If the faucet is old enough that it doesn't have a screen, it may be mineral buildup in the supply lines or at the shut off in the line.

Answer 4

If the pipes are old, it's most likely that corrosion has built up inside them. Some of this buildup may have become dislodged and clogged the path to the low-pressure faucet.

Answer 5

Probably someone or something else using water that drops the pressure. The shower head will be a lot more sensitive to pressure drops than other faucets in the house.

Answer 6

Could be a partial blockage in the supply lines to the faucet. Could also be a different size of supply line. The faucet valves may also need cleaning.
