I had a leak in the kitche two handle compression faucet. I removed the valve stem and replaced the washer. When I turned the water back on I had no pressure so I back flushed the lines and the pressure was some what restored but not all the way. The pressure in the sprayer is great but the pressure coming from the faucet spout is poor. I think there is sediment stuck in the fuacet spout. How do I remove that. I checked the aerater and it is fine

Did you remove and cleaned the Aerator, if not remove it turn on the faucet see if the water flows good, clean the Areator and install, see the Image below, Good luck.

Hi, yes I took the aerator off and it is clean. The water pressure is still poor with the aerator off. The sprayer pressure is great.

Remove the valve stems open both hot and cold side for a few seconds to flush all the remaining debris from the faucet after flush look inside the faucet check for and debris remove if any, install the stems and see if it helped, Thanks.
