Hi all, Thanks in advance for any advice.
I just finished replacing a lot of the pipe (a mix of copper and galvanized) in my home with PEX. The only piping that wasn't replaced was a bit of galvanized supplying two faucets in the basement, the copper from under the floor to the first floor kitchen sink and the copper from the basement to the 2nd floor bathroom. Also, everything in said bathroom is untouched.
Before the replacement everything in the basement had GREAT pressure except the washing machine (may just be the washing machine). The bathroom sink and toilet ran very good but the tub was always a little slow. The kitchen ran very slow, slower than the tub.
After the replacement the bathroom sink & toilet flows as well as before. Pressure at the tub and kitchen sink is nearly non-existent - worse than before the replacement - a very slow trickle if that. All outlets in the basement are still high pressure.
It is 3/4" PEX to 1/2" copper for the kitchen sink which should supply good pressure (correct?). I would have assumed that things would have at least stayed the same and not have become worse.
Any suggestions for my tub and kitchen sink?
