In response to Re: Low pressure at 1 faucet
: Prior to going away for a week, I turned off the main water supply. Upon returning it was turned back on and now I've noticed that the kitchen sink (as well as dishwasher and ice maker, which share the same supply line) have substantially lower pressure. All other fixtures in the house are OK. I removed the aerator on the faucet but found no blockages. : Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! you could try this. 1) shut off main water supply valve 2) open outside sillcock valve nearest kitchen. see if it drains out. Maybe get a garden hose from a neighbor or Air compressor and back flush/blow out the line
