    So would I. Sorry, but we close at midnight. Tom (Speedball) goes to bed early, Mark (Massplumber) keeps bankers hours and Lee (Mygirlsdad) has the early milking.


    Is this a spout with a pull out sprayer or is this a faucet with a side sprayer?

    You posted around midnight. Did you really think that we stayed up just to answer your post? We are volunteers here. Did that slip your mind?
    To answer your question first remove the aerator and try the flow now. No luck? Then Try this. Shut the water off and unscrew the nut that retains the spout. Pull it up and out. The diverter is located in front. Check and remove any trash you find there. Now place a pan over the open valve and tun the water back on to flush the valve out. Reassemble and test. Better now? Good luck, Tom

    It's a side sprayer. The faucet intermittently will not work especially after using the sprayer. Now it won't barely eek out a few drops of water, but the sprayer is still working fine. What could be the problem and how do I fix it? Thanks.

    And to answer your other questions, Sorry I didn't expect someone to answer at midnight, by soon I meant in a day or so. Anyway, I already tried to remove the aerator and the flow as you suggested and that didn't work. I will try the other thing you suggest.

    Inside the spout, inside the round part that swivels is a little valve that turns off the water to the spout when you use the spray. That little valve is stuck.
    You will have to remove the handle and the valve that turns the water on and off. Then remove the spout and fix or replace the little diverter valve.

    What is the model number. Maybe we can find more specific instructions for you.
