My kitchen faucet was working, and we moved it to another location and now there is no pressure. We checked the water pressure and it is working OK. Why will the faucet work at one place and now stop working. When I turn on the water it just comes out with a small stream and won't run at full pressure like before?? We moved the whole sink and faucet to the new house and did not remove or switch any of the pipes under the sink. So why won't it run at full force? Thank you

Your kitchen facet may have debris in it you may want to clean the filter at the nose of the faucet or replace it it is a tiny round chicken wire
It depends also on the model of your faucet is the head removable ? Is it clogged with lime ? You can clean it with boiling water and vinegar.
Some new models of faucet have a removable plastic filter at the base of the handle. After a while this thing is a no sense and blocks the pressure you can remove it by pinching it with a pointed tool it will come out automatically and your pressure is restored.
I had the same problem a while ago; after calling the their customer service they suggested to do so
Hope this help. .

Hi DDS

To start, remove the AERATOR (see image) from the end of the faucet and clean the screens. While the aerator is out, run water to confirm that full water flow is restored.

If that doesn't fix the issue let us know the name brand/model and we'll walk you through the next steps, OK?

Good luck!
