low hot water pressure
Author: Silktassel (Non-US) My kitchen hot water pressure is very low and now my dishwasher does not have enough (I am assuming ) pressure to open the soap cube door and is not washing properly. Does this sound like a job for a plumber or an appliance guy. I had the hot water tank checked as I have hard water, but still no good. Good pressure every where else. thanks

Re: low hot water pressure
Author: CM Plumbing Services (FL) If the pressure on the hot side of the kitchen sink is well as well as the dishwasher it's probably in the angle stop under the sink so I would check that first. You can shut the stop off usually it has two separate stuff but this one sounds like it's one stop with two outlets on it change that out
