One common way to improve water pressure in a sink is by cleaning the aerator.
Here's how to do it:
- Remove the aerator: Use pliers and a towel to carefully remove the aerator from the faucet. The towel prevents scratching the faucet.
- Inspect the aerator: Check the aerator for mineral deposits or other debris that may be obstructing water flow.
- Turn on the faucet: Briefly turn on the faucet without the aerator to flush out any loose debris from the faucet itself.
- Rinse the aerator: Rinse the aerator in hot water to dislodge any remaining particles.
- Clean the aerator: Use a small brush (an old toothbrush works well) to thoroughly clean the aerator screen and housing.
- Reinstall the aerator: Replace the cleaned aerator back onto the faucet.
By cleaning the aerator, you can often restore optimal water pressure to your sink.
