    Low water pressure at kitchen sink
    I changed out my faucet a couple of months ago and now both the hot and cold water pressure is very low. All other faucets in the house are fine. What can I do?

    First check your aerator to make sure it isn't plugging up with debris. If the pressure/volume does not increas with the aerator off then the new faucet is likely picking up junk in the mixing valve. Before disassemling the new valve check your pressure at the stops below the sink. If both stops have good pressure then you'll need to pull the cartridge. If you need further help just write back.
