We have a faucet that is a year old (It's a Pegasus faucet from Home Depot). It has worked just fine until about a week ago and we have had very low water pressure. We don't have any lowered pressure in the bathroom or laundry room, just in the kitchen. At first, when we would turn on the faucet (hot or cold) it would run almost normal and then steadily go down to a trickle. Another problem that we have had is that when we use the sprayer, the water always runs in a trickle afterwards for a little bit (and that has happened since we bought the faucet/sprayer assembly). Now, I have noticed that the sprayer is starting to leak after we have turned off the water (the pressure has seemed to be a little better with the sprayer for the past few days than in the faucet... but then when we turn off the sprayer, the faucet water is about as thin as pencil lead). And just today, when we turn the faucet off, there seems to be a slight delay in the water actually turning off! Is there a problem with the faucet or our lines? Thank you so much for any information you can offer!

The problem is in your faucet. You say that the faucet is a year old, if I were you I would find my receipt and take the faucet back to Home depot and ask for another faucet.
Home Depot is very good at exchanging their products that prove to be unsatisfactory.

If for some reason they won't replace it (it turns out that we bought it in Sept 2005), what could possibly be the problem... or is there just too much wrong with it? The model # is 173-418L and the rest of the number is either (852-6001, 852-6008, 852-6009, 852-6016, 8526027, or 833-480L(852-6004)). I know that it is a brushed nickel, but I have no idea for sure which model # it is... I got these off the instructions that came with it, since we no longer have the box it came in... and it is supposed to have a lifetime warranty... but I'm not sure how that works! Thank you for your time!
