    How to get more pressure in sprayer hose?
    Is there a way to make the sink sprayer hose have more pressure? I recently replaced the faucet and hose and now have 1/4 the pressure so it does not shoot water out

    Yes, this is a free Q&A site.
    I want you to try this. With the faucet off remove the spray head, (see image). Now point the hose at the sink and turn the faucet on. Do you have better flow and pressure now? If yes then you have some trash in the sprayer head blocking the flow.
    You have several options here.
    1. You can take the head apart and clean out the blockage, **or**
    2. Since they are so cheap and replaceable simply run down to Lowe's or Home Depot and purchase a new one. Good luck, Tom
