    Why do I have no pressure with my american standard kitchen faucet
    We installed an American Standard Pullout Kitchen Faucet in our Park Model Camper. About 4 years ago when we were at a different campground. We moved to a new campground 3 years ago and had no problems with the pressure. Last year we started to notice the pressure was different. And this year the pressure is worst. The water pressure in the bathroom is fine and if you take the head off the faucet the pressure for the cold water is fine but the hot water is less. If you put the faucet head on the cold water pressure is minimal and the hot is worst than the cold. What is causing this to happen.

    if you take the head off the faucet
    By that I assume you mean aerator. Remove aerator and clean or replace.

    Probably best to just replace. Only 2 to 3 dollars. Take old one off and take it to store to purchase new one.

    Is this a single handle faucet or a two handle faucet?
