No water pressure to sinks but full pressure to shower and toilet

[Scott Burk]

Have a Flagstaff 29rkws I am perplexed just dewinterized. Pump works fine. Have no water pressure to kitchen or bath sink. Have full pressure to shower/toilet/outside shower. Cannot find any leaks. Have run fresh water and city water to no avail. Not sure what to do. It seems like a valve somewhere, but have no clue. Turned off bypass on hot water heater.

Have you checked the aerators of both of your taps?
It’s the very end of the taps that allows you to unscrew to access the aerator…..or mini filter screen. It could be plugged with plumbing debris which limits water flow. Let us know.

Kitchen sink is flowing now. The only thing that is not is the bathroom sink. Is this an issue of priming it by turning on and off the faucet a few times? We did that on the kitchen sink and it started flowing

Cleaned aerator on bath sink and works fine now. Thanks

Scott, this often happens when you winterize without FIRST bypassing the water heater, and don't wait to un-bypass until AFTER you have repressurized and flushed the rest of the system. Crud that's otherwise harmless in the bottom of the water heater gets pulled into the rest of the system.

And by the way, you had pressure at ALL of the faucets. You just didn't have any flow. (There's a difference.)
