Air in water pipes question
I drained the water heater, then filled it up, and all went well except...
the faucet in the bathroom has remained with very weak flow (hot and cold water). All the other faucets are back to normal flow. I guess it's air in the pipes, right? What can I do to get the flow back to normal? Thanks |

Possibly debris. You might check the supply pipes to the faucet, and
clean the aerator. Tom Kurt Gavin wrote: I drained the water heater, then filled it up, and all went well except... the faucet in the bathroom has remained with very weak flow (hot and cold water).

Air in water pipes question
You called that one right.
The bath closest to the water heater, had its sink faucet aerator full of precip debris. Was the source likely to be from the water heater? I left all the faucets open while draining to allow venting. "tom" wrote in message oups.com... Possibly debris. You might check the supply pipes to the faucet, and clean the aerator.

I don't top post - see either inline or at bottom. Yes, refilling probably stirred up some sediment. Ah yes, another sedimental story... -- Tekkie |
