I have barely any pressure in my kitchen faucet but the sprayer works great. I found out there was a calcium build up in my lines we blew them out and replsced the water heater and kitchen faucet still having the issue with the pressure! Any ideas?

I'd remove the aerator on the faucet and clean it up. Since water goes to the spray the faucet is working.

I've done that. Doesn't work unfortunately.

Hi Hollie

I think the next thing to check would be to see if the SPRAY DIVERTER valve (if present... see images) is stuck in the spray only position. Here, if your valve has a spray diverter it will probably be directly under the body of the spout (have to actually remove the spout to see this) and the spray diverter will need to be removed and cleaned in CLR (calcium/lime/rust remover) or replaced to restore full function.

For easiest time with this I would suggest calling the faucet manufacturer and chat with the technical department... they can e-mail you a parts breakdown so you can disassemble the faucet without too much hassle.

Let me know how you make out!
