anemic water pressure in bathroom sink
Our bathroom sink water pressure has always been minimal, but on our last trip is seems to be even more so. We have ample pressure *everywhere* else, except the bathroom sink. I'm not seeing any pinched lines or similar problems to the naked eye. It's on our punch list for the next dealer visit but wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

1st thing i would check would be the aerator on the spout. if that gets any residue in the screens,that would restrict the flow and the water pressure.

X2 on the aerator. How's the pressure with the outdoor (if equipped) sprayer?

Just in case no one else mentions it, you might want to check the
aerator on that faucet!

While you have the aerator off check the number of screens in it, two is enough three is ok but more than that is going to cut the volume some.

Hey gang, this was a big "duh" on my part - the aerator was indeed the solution. I assumed (wrongly) that since the pressure had been minimal from the very first day we took delivery, that's "just the way it was". But on further inspection, there was a finger-nail sized piece of plastic (looked like a burr or shaving from pex tubing probably) that was restricting water flow. Now it flows like it should. If only all fixes were this simple.

Same problem for me after de-winterizing this year. First the bathroom and kitchen sink worked, then they didn't! I was quite puzzled for about a half hour what could've gone wrong. Relived to find both aerators were plugged with the same type grit you get in the toilet inlet.
