I'm wondering if I can get some advice from some more knowledgeable people than myself before having to call a professional. I just replaced a kitchen faucet for a friend which seemed to go well, but two days later there are a couple issues. This is in a mobile home that has one water shut off for the entire place (as opposed to a valve in the kitchen and one in the bathroom). When I first turned the water back on the kitchen faucet pressure was very low. After a few minutes the flow increased so I thought it was fine, but in retrospect it still seemed a bit low. Now the pressure is really low, a heavy trickle. I wonder if there could be an issue with the leads - I'll try to explain. When I took out the old faucet there was half inch long white hard plastic tubes coming out of the leads that had broken off. They didn't seem necessary so I took them out and connected the new faucet. Is this something that could cause this or could the leads just be clogged affecting the water flow? I'm sure I could replace the leads, but anything more complicated than that I probably wouldn't be able to do. In addition to this, the hot water in the shower suddenly has no flow at all - the cold is fine. The kitchen sink does have hot water and so does the bathroom sink. The bathroom sink water pressure is normal. About 2 weeks ago I replaced the washers on both hot and cold shower dial cartridges to fix a drip and they were fine until now. Both cartridges are old but they seemed ok. Any ideas what could be causing these two problems?
Thanks
