Water that flows and then stops is the classic sign of a restriction or a pressure problem, and the pattern tells you where to look. It can be a valve, a filter, or the supply itself.
The fixture
If one fixture runs and stops, the aerator or the cartridge is clogged, and cleaning or replacing the part restores the flow. hard water and mineral buildup are the norm, and the desert heat stresses outdoor lines and water heaters In Flagstaff, scale and debris are the usual clog.
The whole house
If every fixture runs and then stops, the restriction is upstream — a failing regulator, a kinked line, or the meter.
The well
On a well system, the water stopping can be the pressure tank or the pump, and the pattern of the pump cycling tells the story.
The air
Air in the lines can make the water sputter and stop, and bleeding the lines clears it.
