I just bought a new moen kitchen faucet, no kinks in the lines, and i checked the aerator. I disconnected the lines to check the pressure from the lines, it is strong at that point which leads me to think it is the faucet or something getting caught in the faucet and restricting flow, but what, and what can i do. The previous faucet had low flow as well. All of the other faucets in the house have good pressure. I found a few specks of rust in the aerator of both new and old faucets. Is there an internal screen in the faucet itself that i can clean? It is a real pain to wash dishes. Need help ASAP.
We have little water pressure with the kitchen faucet itself, checked the aerator and it is good. The spray hose is working great. Lines are all open. I don’t understand how the hose can have full pressure while the spout doesn’t?
I turn on the cold and hot water faucets separately and very little water comes out but, when I use the sprayer, everything works fine. I have an attached aerator that threads on the end but nevertheless, when I took it off, the same very little amount of water came out so I wonder if the problem may be in the water lines or something ???? The bathroom sink and tub work just fine. Any advice is appreciated….Thanks….
Like I said if you were paying attention, I ALREADY DID THAT. I am 39 years old and I have done alot, including electrical and auto repair but a plumber I am not but when I ask for some advice, I dont want a kid answering who has never repaired a faucet in his life, ok??? Thanks anyway !!!!
Our kitchen sink faucet keeps spraying in crazy directions, within a day or two of cleaning out the aerator. Today we took it off again and found lots of little white flakes. Is this calcium, or something else? My husband says it only happens with hot water and must be related to the water heater.
Removal of the aerator does not help. No one touched the supply valves, the other faucets have normal flow, all pipes are copper. Flow was normal for the first year or two. This time of year the supply water is much colder than it has been, but well above freezing. Should I disassemble the faucet and look for anything? Some adjustment?
I apologize now that I see the question is ambiguous. The flow has already reduced, I am not hasing how to reduce it. Sorry!
