Hello,
I recently installed a new kitchen faucet, and added a sprayer (we didn't have one before). Now the faucet is acting really weird.
When we first turn it on it has almost normal pressure. Then a second later it drops down to almost nothing, and when we turn it off, a small trickle runs for a minute still.
When I use the sprayer we have full pressure. So we might only have a tiny stream coming out of the faucet, but if we spray the sprayer it is full pressure.
Also, if the faucet has good pressure, and we spray the sprayer, then the faucet will keep running a small trickle. Then when we release the sprayer the pressure from the faucet stays at the same small trickle as when the sprayer was on.
I have tried taking the "trap" (?) off the faucet (The part that unscrews and has a pressure reducer and a grate of some kind) and letting it run, but the pressure is the same.
Prior to installing the new faucet, and sprayer we had great pressure.
Thanks in advance for the help.
