The water shut-off valve on the cold inlet pipe above the water heater could be partially plugged with debris. Turn off the main water supply shutoff to home and take the valve apart to clean. JR

Will a water generator effect your water pressure greatly?

Pressure variations in different parts of a home can almost always be found within the fixtures themselves.
