    Low water pressure from new faucet
    I installed a new kitchen faucet, but, it has very little water pressure. Any ideas?

    Hot and cold both the same. Low? When you removed the old fixture did you flush out the water lines? Could be debris from old fixture now clogging the inlet ports of the new faucet.

    Hi Kootynayken

    The first thing to check after installing a new faucet will be to remove the AERATOR at the end of the spout, clean it, run water from the faucet WITHOUT THE AERATOR IN PLACE, and then reinstall the aerator and see water flow is improved.

    If not, the issue is further back in the faucet body or even further back at the shutoffs... ;)

    Let us know how things go, OK?
