What could possible cause the kitchen faucet to have a low flow! as if there is not much pressure?

Question

What could have caused that! of could it the faucet itself? the faucet is kind of new. We have been using it for few months, and now the pressure is very low? please help.

Thank You All

Answer 1

In the spout , there is an aerator. If this is restricted, you will experience low flow. If you clean this, and there is still low flow, there may be a restriction in the tubing leading into the fixture. Have you done something new in the immediate future that may have been relevant?

Answer 2

ok i had that happen to me a couple times it could me lime build up in the faucet head if u look at where the water comes out unscrew it and u might find a build up inside

hope this helps

Answer 3

At the spout of the faucet there is a aerator. Unscrew this and clean it out, depending on what kind of water pipes you have, sediment builds up and clogs the screen.

Answer 4

check the screen on bottom of faucet.

Answer 5

Make sure the supply valves under the sink are turned on all the way. See if you can unscrew the part where the water comes out to check if something is clogging it. If those two things are fine and there are no other low flow issues in the other faucets, then yours may be defective.
