whistling water
 
Hi everyone! I've enjoyed reading thru your posts and this seems like a
saavy group. Hope you don't mind if I jump in with a question.

My daughter and I installed a new faucet set in the bathroom and it
looks and works great, but whenever we turn on either water tap it
whistles. Anybody know what went wrong and/or how to quiet it down.

Might be trapped air in the lines or the new fixture. Try removing the
aerator and running the faucet (hot and cold) full blast for at least 60
seconds.

Single or double handle? Could be a defective seal, washer, cartridge or a
piece of gunk lodged in there. Could be the aerator. Take it off and try
it and look to see if something is in the passages in the aerator.

Make sure the shut-off valves are fully open.

Cheers,
