    Hot water pressure slows down
    My kitchen sink has a one arm faucet and the flow is okay, I would like it to be a little stronger. My question is…. When I turn the handle to the left (hot) the pressure slows down. How can I fix this?

    Your help and knowledge will be greatly appreciated,

    Close the hot angle valve under sink and fully open it see if it will work, if not it sounds like you have a blockage inside your faucet in the hot port, you will need to remove the cartridge and flush out the debris from the faucet, Please tell us the brand and the model number of your faucet, Thanks.
