    No water pressure in my kitchen faucet
    Can someone please help me. We purchased an older home back in August. The whole house has great water pressure except for our kitchen sink. The spray nozzle has good pressure however the water that comes out of the faucet is a steady trickle. We have taken the screen out at the end of the faucet thinking that might be the problem and it made no difference. We were going to replace the faucet her pretty soon but didn't know if that would make any difference. Our kitchen faucet is the kind with the two knobs if that helps any.

    Thanks for your time.

    Turn the water off under the cabinet and open up the faucet,(see image). Check for trash caught in the seats. Now, while the faucet's open, t6urn the hot and cold water back on to flush out the supplies and valve body. You should have a strong stream. If not click on back. If there's a strong stream reassemble and test. Good luck, Tom
