5 sinks that are all connected.
The first and second have low water pressure
and the other 3 are somewhat low also just not as bad.

"low" and "somewhat" are vague terms.

Does any other sink there have "good" water pressure?
How about at the business next door?

How many valves are there on the pipe en route to the sinks?
Has anyone cleaned the outlet strainer?

Give us something to work with.

3 sinks in salon with low preasure

Thank you for responding. A little more info here in that all 3 seem to have low [reasure but especially the middle one and especially with hot water. All 3 seem to need new hoses as they splatter water. I will have to check on valves but does this give anyone an idea tyvm

A salon like that should have had 3/4" main lines ran so they would have the same pressure.
You could have 100 PSI pressure but if the lines are to small the water can not get the fast enough to maintain flow.

If you have 100 psi then your fixture will be blowing a part. They run 3/4 for the volume. A 1/2 line or a /4 line will have the same pressure. What you need to do is check the incoming pressure at the meter. Must see if they got a pressure reducing valve. If they do then you can turn it up. Mite be old Water line coming in and clogged up. But start will checking the pressure.
65 to 80 psi should be good.

Read agin, never said he needed 100 PSI.

I have two Belvedere sinks- one has a normal pressure- another low hot pressure- just had a water heater replaced

Do they have low pressure when when just one is on, or is it worse when all 3 are on together?

Imo, you should start a new thread of your own instead of piggy backing off a 7 year old thread. Makes it more confusing. Plus you will get better results. Nothing wrong with doing it, just saying.
