To increase water pressure in a faucet, start by unscrewing the aerator tip from the spout and cleaning out accumulated mineral scale or sediment by soaking it in white vinegar. Second, ensure that the hot and cold water supply shutoff valves underneath the sink are turned completely counterclockwise to the fully open position. If pressure remains low, check the flexible supply lines for kinks or inspect the home's pressure-reducing valve (PRV). Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when handling mineral-encrusted plumbing parts. Verification: Turn the faucet handle back on to verify that a strong, even stream of water is restored.
