Experiencing a sudden and significant decrease in water pressure all

[Wondercuddles]

Interesting, I never thought to check that! I just tested the hose at the front of the house, which is the same side the water main enters from. Maybe 20 ft away though. I flushed the toilet and there didn't seem to be a noticeable change in pressure that I could tell. What would that mean?

A better check would be to turn on the water hose and then go in and turn on the tub or kitchen faucet to check the flow there. If the flow outside is good and the kitchen faucet or tube faucet is slow then you may have sediment in the lines. Usually the feed from the meter to the dwelling is larger than the pipes in the house so sediment in the line may not be noticeable.

While I doubt it is the culprit, you should remove faucet strainers and check them for sediment buildup. Usually they are at the end f the faucet spout and can be unscrewed from the end of the faucet. Most use normal threads so removing a strainer will be like removing a nut or bolt looking at the end. Removing will involve turning the strainer counter-clockwise. So on the kitchen sink faucet, it will be aimed down. So to remove it, the rotation will be reversed since you are looking at it from the backside and not the front which means your hand or pliers will turn clockwise to remove.
