    Over the past week have noticed that my Grohe faucet (older model of this http://db.grohecatalog.com/upload/pdf2/32244sp.pdf) is putting out significantly less water (both hot and cold). I am not a plumber but pretty handy. I am thinking it's one of the pressure springs or some filter. Can you help me diagnose what's going on and whether this is something I can fix or do I need a pro?


    Just an add on... the faucet was installed about 4 yrs ago. Other faucets in the house working fine.

    Have you removed the spray head and tried the pressure then? Still no pressure? Then I'd be giving a real close look to the cartridge and pressure springs. Good luck, Tom

    Grohe LadyLux: Great faucets ! Installed hundreds of them... Everybody loves them...

    Just like Tom said: First, unscrew sprayer. There is flow reducing washer or plug. Either clean it or remove it for better flow. Second, as MGD77 pointed out: Make sure your aerator is clear of debris. Third - and if none of the above helped - check #6 and 8 , located under the sink. That should do...
