    Kitchen Faucet
    We replaced plumbing in our house, now the kitchen sink when turned on trickles water. If we take faucet off the water shoots out. We replace faucet and the water trickles. The faucet is not clogged. What can be the problem?

    Oh no!! Ya don't get off that easy. I want to know if you have water coming out of the supplies when the faucets removed and none when it's connected and as you say, " The faucet is not clogged.", then where's the blockage?
    Look, Fritz, give me the brand name of the faucet and its type, one handle or two knobs and we'll try to sort it out. By the way, did you remove the aerator from the spout and check the screens? Regards, Tom

    It's a pegasus 2 handle w/sprayer. No we have not removed the areator yet.. Yes there is water coming out of the supplies when faucet is removed and very well I might add :)
    And it only trickles out with the faucet attached.

    Well then that puts the problem squarely in the faucet doesn't it. Check it again for a blockage, Check and clean the aerator screens and then get back to me. Cheers, Tom
