I had the dip tube replaced in the hot water heater. The lines were cleaned at the time. Now, approximately one month later I am starting to notice less water pressure through some of the faucets/shower. I know with the one shower that it is being caused by the bits of plastic from the old tube that were not totally removed when it was replaced. I can clean them out on one shower head. Will I need to repalce the valves in the other areas such as the kitchen faucet, bathroom faucet? I don't see any screens in the lines anywhere. If so, should I wait for a certain period of time to see if all of the plastic gets out of the water heater so I won't have to replace valves again?
Thanks in advance. Jeff
