    Check to make sure your hose from the airgap to the sink isn't crimped or clogged. Did you install a disposal? If you installed a disposal did you remove the knockout plug? Does the sink drain fine otherwise? Post back and let us know what you think. GOOD LUCK, AC

    I guess it would not hurt for you to tell us why you needed to replace the first air gap.
