I have noticed a gradual decline in water pressure in my kitchen faucet. In addition, it takes several minutes for the water to become slightly warm, let alone hot. I have removed the aerator and cleaned all the filters. Re-installed and the same results. I removed one of the filters and again, same result. I removed the 2nd filter and the faucet now blasts water... almost too strong. Because my faucet pressure is so intense, I barely have to turn it on and my sprayer has barely any pressure. Clearly I did not fix the problem and I need to re-install the filters, however, what would be my next step? Any advice is much appreciated!

Filters? What filters are you talking about on a faucet. It may have a cartridge or ball but filters??

I believe you are talking about Aerator's screens, but the Brand and model number of the faucet will help, Thanks.

Buy a new aerator. Take old one with you and purchase on that looks just like it.

Make sure you don't have kink in your supply line under the sink. Also, you may have dirt inside the cartridge. Yes, with 2.2 gpm flow, it takes some time for hot water to arrive in your kitchen sink faucet. Try to run it w/o aerator. See how long before hot water gets there...
