    Moen-CA87550CSLSD water pressure
    I have tried everything to fix the water pressure on this faucet that is rated with 2.2GPM. I go to other peoples
    Houses with the same type of faucet (different brands)and you barely turn their faucets on and the pressure is greater then my faucet turned all the way up!
    If you unscrew the spay nozzle the stream that comes out is very strong. The Kohler faucet in my bathroom is
    Stronger then the kitchen. I had all my pvc pipes replaced to 3/4" also (no change). Is it the faucet? We have
    A brand new well and the pressure is set at 40. Any help thank you.
    Moen replaced spray nozzle once-no change.

    First off its most likely a volume issue and not pressure. Volume is being resytricted somehow so little amounts of watr come out. I think the key is " unscrew the spay nozzle the stream that comes out is very strong" this tells me its your nozzle that is partially blocked or restricting. Try flushing it out backwords with air hose or strong water stream.
