Todd: I have two sinks in my kitchen. One of the faucets now has terrible water pressure. The other is fine, as well as everything else in the house. It has just happened for the first time since we bought the house a year and a half ago. It's a new house. I have checked the filter at the end of the faucet spout and it is fine. No clogs there. What should I do? Thanks a bunch, Todd.
Tom: Hi Todd: If the faucet has a sprayer
try turning the water on high and press the sprayer button over and over again
for about a minute. if this does not work. you may have to take the faucet apart
to remove what ever is in it. Or you may have to replace the diverter. inside
the faucet (assuming it has a sprayer). if this did not work please give me
details about the faucet i.e. one handle, brand name, other, or send a
photo. and I will give further instructions. please respond to this email
address.
And Thank you.
Todd: I tried the sprayer button thing. Didn't work. The faucet is
one handle,
Moen. I think I am sending you the photo. Let me know. Thanks.

Tom: Hi Again Todd:
there is a back flow preventor behind the sprayer handle. You need to remove
the hose from the sprayer. you do not need to turn the water off to try
this. the nut should not be more then Hand tight once you have removed the
sprayer point the hose into the sink and turn the faucet on to see if you
have pressure there. I bet you do. If not let me know. but if you do, see if
there is junk stuck in the back of the sprayer. if so clean it out. and you
should be Ok if not let me know. Thanks again.

Todd:
Thanks a bunch. My wife followed your directions, fixed it
easily. It was
stopped up there. I appreciate your time. Todd
Tom: Thank you. I would like your honest
opinion. Do you feel this service was
worth the Fee to you?
Todd:
Yes. My father in law is a builder and is coming to visit.
He is going to
help me do some other things around the house. He hinted!! for me to call
a
plumber. It sounded like he really didn't want to do any plumbing.
Although it was a relatively simple solution, it would have cost me at least
$150 for a plumber to come. It was easily worth it. I have already
told my
cousin about your site and service. She was interested in using it, she
has
a plumbing issue also. Todd
Master Plumber: Thank you again.
