Low water pressure in kitchen sink after dishwasher install

Asked Jun 11, 2009, 05:42 AM — 2 Answers
I just had a dishwasher installed. While the water pressure was not great, it was adequate before the install. Now the water just trickles out. What is wrong?

Remove the aerator,(see image) and check and clean the screens. I think in hooking up the DW you disturbed some minerals built up in the pipe walls and it got sucked up into your faucet. Turn the water on with the aerator off. Good stream? If not then click on back and tell me about it. Good luck, Tom
