    Price Pfrister Loop Lever-low pressure
    Hi, I just received a new spray handle from Price Pfister. THe water pressure had become very slow and I thought with a new handle, it would solve that. (because of years of build up) IT did not and is slower now than it was before. I tried taking out the a little white thing inside the airator but that did not help either, just caused it to drip. Is there anywhere else in a one handle faucet with a sprayer that can cause very low water pressure that can be fixed? Thank you, Linda

    Hi... hey, has this faucet always had low pressure/volume.. And tell us what is the water pressure/volume like in the rest of the house..

    If you always had poor pressure and removal of the aerator and a new handle did nothing to fix it AND the faucet is super old AND the pressure is good throughout the house... then maybe it is just time to get a whole new faucet... *frown*... Maybe..

    I wish I could offer more hope... but taking all apart and starting to explore options on a faucet I think may be older just may not be worth your touble. Especially a price pfister! New faucets are cheap enough and pretty easy to install... AND we are always glad to walk you through if you need help.


    I would recommend an american standard faucet or a kohler or any other brand name that has been aaround a loooonngggg time. Parts will be easier to find in the future.

    Please get back with any thoughts... ok?
