Why can`t I get pressure from the faucet when I have pressure from the pipes going to it? Have changed faucet and checked new faucet for restrictions.

Smile Slow flow in faucet

Try removing the aerator (if this is a kitchen or bathroom sink). I had the smallest little thing blocking almost all of the water supply. Hard to believe, but those bits of metal can slough off and get caught in there.

Also--I couldn't get any flow out of a shower head, and I poked through the "governor" (the thing that's supposed to reduce the water flow). Yeah, I guess you shouldn't if you want to use less water, but I wanted something more than a dribble. Good luck.
