    Pulsating or jumping kitchen sprayer
    When I use my Kitchen sprayer it pulsates and jumps really bad. It sounds and feels like a jack hammer. How do I fix it?

    Although the diverter is the usual culprit there's another problem that would give you the same chatter. Low water pressure. Until I replaced my water lines I had them same problem. Replacing the lines and increasing the pressure cured the problem. Hope this helps. Tom
