    Dripping Faucet W/no Pressure Sprayer
    Culprit: Peerless Two Handle Kitchen Faucet w/Sprayer
    Two part question: 1) Need instructions and photo illustrations (if possible) on fixing a dripping faucet; and 2) same for separate sprayer worked fine just after install but now it does not spray. A slight stream of water is coming from the sprayer but there is no pressure behind it even with both cold and hot turned full open. Any help is much appreciated.

    ... your faucet on Peerless' website and then you might be able to download a troubleshooting guide or at least a picture/drawing of your faucet which you can then post here for someone to review.

    Shut off the water. Pry off the little cap that says ''H'' and remove the screw holding the handle on. With the handle off, there will be either a regular hex nut or one with just 2 flat sides. Unscrew it. Take the whole works to a real hardware store, Ace, Top Value, etc. not a home center. They will help you find the right replacement cartridge. They will also sell you the right parts if it is an older washer type. If the faucet still drips, the cold was leaking too. Repeat, starting with the cap that says ''C''.

    Once you have the drip fixed, remove the sprayer hose from under sink. Take it to another faucet and back flush it to wash out the crud keeping it from working. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace it first. Before doing that, put a bucket under where you removed it and turn the water on. If you don't get a good stream, the plug is back further.
