    Water pressure
    When I turn on the water in the kitchen, I get a trickle of cold and/or hot water. I disconnected the water connectiors from the faucet and I got good pressure, when I reconnect the connectors to the faucet, I don't get any pressure. I replaced both water connetors and the faucet, but still no pressure. The water sprayer works great. Any ideas?

    Hi Orlando:

    Try removing the AERATOR (spin clockwise) at the end of the spout... ;) You may need a pair of pliers to remove it.

    Once you have it removed then clean it of all sediment. Turn the water on WITHOUT the aerator in place and see if flow is increased. If so, replace the aerator and test again. If water flow is poor after that then you will need to go to a home supplystore and purchase a new aerator!

    Let me know how it works out.
