I have a Hansgrohe 38830001 Kitchen fauset and my water pressure is very very low. I would like to try and clean my screens in the fauset but don't know how to take it apart to find the screens. Can you help me?

I think you are speaking of the aerator. The metal mesh that filters the water.

I don't know about your specific faucet.. but in general

A picture of where to find it is here

Low Water Pressure in Faucets

Some more instructions here:

From hgtv website

Step 1 - Remove the Aerator: Use a pair of water-pump pliers to unscrew the aerator from the faucet spout. Protect the surface of the aerator by wrapping the jaws of the pliers in masking tape.

Step 2 - Disassemble the Aerator: Remove the internal parts of the aerator by pushing them out with your fingers. If the components are stuck, presoak the aerator in a vinegar solution. Use a pick or tweezers, but be careful not to damage any of the parts. Once they're removed, lay out the parts and inspect them for damage. Damage components will have to be replaced. Soak reusable parts in a vinegar solution overnight to loosen mineral deposits.

Step 3 - Clean the Aerator Parts: Remove the components from the vinegar solution and wipe them dry with a rag. Use a small wire brush to remove mineral deposits. Inspect all parts for damage after cleaning, and again, replace them if necessary. Reassemble the aerator and screw it back into the spout hand-tight. Then turn on the water and check for leaks, tightening if necessary.

Hi Ocean fun:

Knuclklez is on the right track!

Check out this website: http://www.hansgrohe-usa.com/images/.../part38830.pdf

By your model number, it is your faucet in an exploded view. The aerator is labeled as #6 in pic. Remove this (twist clockwise), clean/clear of debris and then reinstall... If you have hard water may need to clean as knucklez suggests. If not, just clear screen and see from there. Let us know if you need more info. or if cleaning aerator does not fix issue... Mark

If this helped, please RATE THIS ANSWER... Thank you.

At the end of the spigot, there will be a round part that unscrews, the screen will be located here. NOTE *** cover the drain hole before attempting the repair to keep parts from falling down the drain.
