    Default Water pressure ?

    2 story house - pressure is great throughout the house except for the master bath double vanity. The pressure is weak and seems to be getting worse. Thoughts?

    Is the master upstairs? Age of house? Pipe material?

    You've got trash in that thing somewhere.

    Don't ask me to find it. It'll take too long and I'll overthink the shit out of it.

    It's probably in the screen at the faucet, if I had to guess.

    Take a bucket, turn the shutoff to that faucet off and disconnect the flex line from the faucet. Put the open end of the flex into the bucket and open the isolation valve. Does it flow well? You've got trash in the faucet. Does it not flow well? You've got another problem somewhere else.

    Good plan, but before you bother doing all of that, unscrew the aerator/screen filter on the end of the faucet and check the water pressure with it off. If the pressure is back up to normal, clean the screen or get a new aerator at the hardware store. Take the old one with you to make sure you get a match.

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I've got trash in the faucet and no aerator key for the delta faucet. Any other way to pop that thing out?

    Small flat head screwdriver. Stick it in the slot and tap it loose

    Replace the entire faucet.
