I have what could be two problems.
1. The water pressure/flow in our kitchen sink is slow. Water comes out better when we use the sprayer.

2. It takes a very long time for the hot water to get hot and the facuet has to be in the exact spot for it to get at least warm water. We do not have problems getting hot water in other parts of the house, and the water gets hotter faster when the dishwasher is running.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

(1) There's some trash cought in the spout opening where it leaves the diverter. Open up the valve and clean the area.
(2) At the same time you have the valve open check the inlet ports on the cartridge for any blockage. Now place a pan over the open valve and turn the water back on to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test. Better now? Let me knoiw. Tom
