    Slow running faucet kitchen
    I just bought a new kitchen faucet, 2nd one I've installed. They both have had the same issues now that I completed the installation of the 2nd one. It like the first. Started flawless. Great pressure, great flow and now a beautiful sink. HOwever a week or so after the installation the faucet now runs just a little over a trickle. The dishwasher and the Sprayer still work fine and have great pressure. However the main faucet does not. Any suggestions on it?

    FYI, the first installation was made as a vanity upgrade. Then after checking pressures in the lines to all others I concluded it was due to the faucet and so we baught/installed the new one. During the installation of the 2nd one, I replaced the flex line that leads to the faucet itself in case that may have been a 2ndary issue. Could I really have such back luck to have baught 2 inadequate kitchen sink faucets?

    Hi Steve

    Have you removed the aerator at the end of the spout yet? If not, remove the aerator and flush the faucet with that out... should resolve the issue.

    If that fails to resolve the issue then you may have something that got caught up inside the faucet. If that is the case then the only fix is to disassemble the faucet and flush it out without the cartridge in place.

    Try these things and let me know what you find, OK?
