MY PIPES BUSTED AT MY PUMP I HAVE A
PLUMBER COME OUT AND FIX THEM.
MY PROBLEM IS NOW I HAVE NO COLD WATER
PRESSURE IN MY KITCHEN I HAVE IT IN
MY OTHER TWO BATHROOMS AND IN MY
DISHWASHER AND WASHING MACHINE.
COULD MY WATER LINE FROM THE PUMP BE
CLOPPED UP WITH SAND.

 

If sand or debris did get in your pipes, sometimes it defies logic where the stuff ends up....

Which faucet did you turn on first after the plumber finished his work?

Generally, your diswasher gets water from your sink hot water line...do you get good hot water flow out of your kitchen faucet?

Some faucets have inlet screens as well as those at the aerator/outlet...maybe yours is one of those...if you get hot water out of it no problem, it just might be...

You can take the faucet out of the loop by disconnecting the cold water (on the right in most installations) at the shut off valve under the sink. You can either shut the water off outside or at the valve itself (sometimes, the valves will start leaking if they haven't been shut off in a long time and have built up mineral deposits)...be prepared to divert the water somewhere when you turn it back on...if it sprays all over or gives good flow into a bucket (recommended! *G*), then the likely culprit is the faucet and/or its supply line from the valve.

Hope one of the plumbers will pop in here and offer some better tips...

Good luck!

PS...if you have good water flow and pressure elsewhere, it's likely the problem is isolated in the kitchen area...your main is likely fine...

 

Is your kitchen sink on an outside wall?
If it is, then your cold water line just may be frozen.
Leave the cabinet doors open to allow heat under the sink.
You can try to heat the cold water line with a hair dryer, also, to thaw it out.
If the kitchen sink cold water was the first thing that you turned on after the plumber replaced your pump pipes, then turn off the water at the valve under the sink (on right), dismantle the faucet and check for debris blockage.
Good Luck!

 

HI, PAT
THANK YOU FOR ASWERING MY QUESTION
BUT WHAT IS AN AERATOR.
AND THE FIRST THING I TURN ON WAS THE FAUCET
IN THE MASTER BATH.
YES THE WATER IS GOOD AND HOT IN THE DISHWASHER.
I HAVE CLEAN THE INLET SCREENS AND THE
FAUCET.

THANK YOU AGAIN

 

Hi Maggie,
Thanks for the update....

The aerator, which is in most faucets I work on, is under a cap at the outlet of the faucet spout. It mixes air with the water exiting the faucet and gives it a bit of a foamy appearance (like a foamy column) instead that of a hard stream. Sometimes grains of sand or grit block the holes in it and cause a reduction in water flow. Also, there usually is a screen in the same area as the aerator which is supposed to stop debris from getting to it. Sometimes that screen gets clogged with debris or mineral deposits and slows or stops the water flow.
On some faucets, there is a similar screen where the supply line screws onto the faucet under the sink....it, too is vulnerable to clogging and mineral deposits.

As you say your dishwasher works fine, may I assume that you do get adequate ***HOT*** water out of your kitchen faucet? We need to know that to help diagnose your problem. Also, when you look under the sink, do you see a water line running from the hot water pipe over towards your dishwasher? Or is there just one line running up to the faucet? (Remember, left side). This will also help us...

Since you made no mention of freezing temperatures, I'll assume your pipes haven't frozen...

Something to also consider...since your problem started after the plumber worked on your system, you could explain it to him/her and request that the problem be repaired at no charge since it's possible (and probable) that their invasion of your system could be the cause of your situation.

One more thing...If you know, could you describe what "busted" your pipes out by the pump and what the plumber did to repair them...?
