i am remodeling a 1950's bathroom. the old valves under the sink needed updating to install new water lines from faucet fixture to valve. i asked a plumber to help on this project. he advised me that my home water pressure was way too high and thought it advisable to lower the pressure of water coming out of the faucet. i said okay. anyway, trying to make a long story short, come to find out, the pressure now isn't hard enough. the water "drops" out instead of "squirting" out. he installed a 1/4 shut off. would this have anything to do with the force of water coming out of the faucet? i would like to be able to fix the problem myself without having to have another $90 service call. also i've noticed the shower spray (i had new plumbing installed for that, too) isn't quite as forceful as it was before he added the new shower faucet location up on the wall. could this be due to some kind of water pressure reduction valve in the shower plumbing? i have cleaned out the screens in both locations.
