    First, remove the aerator and seed if you have pressure, No?
    Then it sounds like you have disturbed some crud built up in your pipe walls and they are clogging the import ports in the cartridge.

    Shut the water off and open up the faucet. Remove the cartridge and check and clean the input ports.

    Now p0lace a pan over the faucet and turn the water on to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test. Good luck, Tom

    This happened to me. Most likely there is crud in your aerator. Whenever you do pipe work particles are loosened and end up in aerator. You had pressure and then didn't immediately after so that is the problem 9 times out of 10

    Isn't that what I just posted above? Do you have anything new to add? Cheers, Tom

Kitchen faucet slow water pressure and sprayer fix [ 2 Answers ]

The Kitchen faucet is a single knob. Both cold and hot has slow water pressure. If you use the sprayer and stop then the water pressure returns to normal for both cold and hot. You must always use the sprayer to get normal water pressure. Sprayer is not part of single faucet but is part of unit.
