Unscrew and check the aerator. A lot of times when changing a fixture you will stir up debris in the supply line. When installing a new fixture remove the aerator when turning on for the first time to flush the line.

SOURCE: Price Pfister hot water runs slow

Check the supply line and valve to see if any dirt or foreign.matter got into the line or valve when you changed out your faucet. if this is not the problem you may have a faulty faucet. You may be able to back flush the faucet with a garden hose by leaving the hot side open, but you will get wet. If you used Teflon tape on the supply line and it is a compression fitting, some of the tape could be blocking the water. for more info go to waterheaterflush.com

SOURCE: New Price Pfister Ashfield Bath Faucet - Hot H20 pressure is weak

I had the same problem. I simply removed the small brass fitting that the water supply screws onto.i removed the screen that is inside the brass fitting. Now the pressure is fine.

Installed a new shower and have only cold water hooked up but only getting a trickle of water through it.

Lots of shower valves have pressure balancing cartridges nowadays in order to get full flow out of hot or cold you have to have both the hot and cold hooked up to give even pressure on both sides of the cartridge that should fix your problem and give you a full flow

Water just trickles out of the waterfall faucet

Look for the obvious-take off the screen. Then you may have to venture into the faucet itself. If you have galvanized pluming, every time you shut the water off, scale will fall int the center of the piping without pressure and then when you open the faucet it tries to flow through small orifices.

No hot water pressure

These types faucets have a what is called an anti scald valve build into them, it is required by law, it is either defective or out of adjustment, contact a local hardware store for more detailed info.

I have a single control, new glacier bay bathtub faucet control. i don't have the hot water heater hooked up. i'm only getting a slight trickle out of my faucet whenb i turn the knob to cold. is it...

it is likely required. many new faucets have what's called a pressure balance valve that helps prevent scalding by lowering the pressure of hot when the cold pressure drops (due to a toilet flush or other water being run). Because you have pressure to only one side, that can cause the valve not to provide the necessary volume.

Installed new tub faucet and all i have is a trickle

If you have galvanized water lines in your home, I will bet you have sedament in the cartridges causing blockage.
