    Lost water pressure from Kitchen sink faucet
    Hi,

    All of a sudden I have lost water pressure from my kitchen sink faucet. What baffles me is that I still have good pressure out of the kitchen sink sprayer.

    What should I check? Is this common?:eek:

    Hey Moseby... sound like the cartridge may have gotten clogged... OR the aerator.

    Try the aerator first.. it is on the end of the faucet spout. Twist this out clockwise, remove it and clean any sediment that may be blocking, then turn on faucet to see if water flows without aerator.. If does then replace cleaned aerator and should be all set!

    If no water without the aeartor then try to find a name on the faucet.. Get back to us.. Mark

    And yes... this happens a lot around here... ;)
