    Kitchen sink tap slow except after using sprayer
    I have a problem with water pressure out of the spout. It is very low, but after using the sprayer, which works fine, the pressure is good. But, then the pressure goes back down after a few seconds. The aerator has been checked with no debris. Any suggestions?

    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
