new water heater, but no water....help?
Author: jcashmoney (CA) I got a new water heater installed a couple of days ago, and noticed that the water pressure out of the faucets and shower have been a little low. Now, there is no water coming out of the shower head and very little water coming out of all the faucets....what could it be? No idea, help, please .

Author: KCRoto (MO) remove the shower head and turn on the shower and see if there is water flow. If there is, the flow restrictor is probably clogged with debris and just needs rinsed out. The aerators on the ends of the faucets will also need to be removed and rinsed off and while they are off, turn on the hot and cold to flush any remaining debris in the lines out.
