We hardly have any pressure at the kitchen faucet. The rest of the house is normal. I wouldn't mind getting a new faucet, mine has been acting up. BUT, if I do buy a new faucet and have it installed and the pressure still sucks, I'm going to be pissed. How do I know? Help please.

Let's do a little checking. Remove the aerator (see image) and see if that doesn't bring the pressure back. If not click on back and tell me, Good luck, Tom

Thank you for being out there Tom.

My husband took that whole end of the faucet off (the wand?). So there is just the naked hose. And there is still no pressure. Now what?

Reinstall the spray head, shut the water off at the stops and open up the faucet. Remove the cartridge and check and clean the inlet ports. Now hold a pan over the open valve and turn the water on for a few seconds to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test. Better now? Good luck, Tom

Most likely, Tom has presented the final result to resolve your issue, but for what it is worth, I have seen plenty of houses where the shut off valves under the sink were never opened completely and people suffered with low pressure/volume for years! Double check that the valves under the sink are fully opened and see if that resolves the issue. If not, proceed exactly as Tom suggested!

Mark, the very first thing we did, was to test that the shut off valves were totally open. They were. So, after some more testing as per Tom's suggestions, we determined, that the problem is in the wand. Without it attached, trust me, we have pressure!! Thanks for the suggestion for holding a pan over it! (And towels all around.) So we called Moen and they are sending us a new hose and new wand.

Thanks for updating us... always appreciated! Pop back if you think we can help in the future!
