    Turn off the water. Dissemble the stop or remove the lines from the stops. Look for obstuctions.

First of all we like to check the easy/cheap things first.

1. Are the shut-off valves closed lightly?

If they are closed, open them.....easiest fix of them all.

2. If the valves are open then possibly a washer is shifted.

Turn off the water supply at the valves under the sink. Remove the handles by removing the set screw under the handles. There should then be a packing nut which holds all of the "guts" of the faucet in. Remove this nut and pull out the long stem. On the bottom of this stem is a flat washer that may have been damaged or is just slightly shifted. EIther way, I would replace it if the faucet is more then a few years old as it is cheap and you already have access to it. WHen replacing the valve stem, be sure to use a plumbers grease on all rings and seals. The rest of the replacement is the same are the removal.



Hope this helps.

Sink faucet has little pressure all others are fine

  1. Check the aerator: The aerator is a small mesh screen located at the end of the faucet spout. Over time, mineral buildup can clog the aerator and reduce water flow. Unscrew the aerator from the spout and clean it with a toothbrush and vinegar or a solution of water and baking soda. Rinse it thoroughly and reattach it.
  2. Check the supply valves: Make sure that the supply valves under the sink are fully open. Turn them off and on a few times to loosen any debris that may be stuck in the valves.
  3. Check the water pressure regulator: If your home has a water pressure regulator, it may be malfunctioning. A faulty regulator can cause low water pressure in certain areas of your home. Contact a plumber to check and replace the regulator if necessary.
  4. Check for leaks: Check for leaks in the pipes under the sink or in the supply line. A leak can reduce water pressure and cause other problems.
  5. Call a plumber: If you have tried these steps and the problem persists, it may be time to call a professional plumber. A plumber can diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action to restore normal water pressure to your sink faucet.

It sprays fine but off the spray thair is no presuser . we replaced the water lines in the house we have good preasure though out our home jest not at the kitchen sink

One of the greatest things about Franke Faucets is that they have a lifetime guarantee. If you recently changed the waterlines in the home then more than likely when the water was turned back on or lines pressurized the settlement in the water main (Outside of your home) was activated and clogged the aerator. Most aerators simply turn counter clockwise (With the water off) after remooving the aerator simply clean and dislodge any particles in another sink. As for the pull out, some models have an inline screen located between the hose and the faucet handle. Simpy remove the handheld faucet (With the water off) and clean the screen.

New moen kitchen single handle. Worked for one full day. Now no water pressure.

Unthread end of faucet (aerator) where the water comes out into sink, under the aerator is a screen & a plastic valve.It has sediment & rust which will disrupt the flow & pressure.Careful not to flush it down the drain. Tip upside down, while holding it together with finger. Flush it under the faucet. It is not uncommon to get plugged up initialy because of the new installation.

I have a brand new faucet not getting any water pressure? Water Pressure was fine before putting new faucet in. How do i troubleshoot this problem and get my bathroom sink running properly again?

It is very common when you first install any faucet, for the aerator on the very end of the faucet (where the water comes out into the sink) to plug up with rust or sediment. Because you had to turn off water supply, it churns up this sediment in pipes. It initially plugs up the filter/screen in aerator. Just unscrew the end & flush it out with water. Then reattach.

Hi just moved in new home love it but the water pressure in kitchen is very low but the two baths i have the water pressure is fine can you help me please

One thing you could try is to remove the aerator at the end of the spout on the faucet, Turn water on and see if pressure is any better. If so the aerator is got something in it restricting the flow.
You also can remove the dime shaped flat in the aerator to increase water flow. It looks like a dime with a hole about 1/8" in center to restrict the flow to about 1.6 gpm. Remove it and reinstall aerator and check water flow

Most of the times when cold and hot side of faucet.It would be the first thin to check being you have good water pressure at other faucets. They catch debris and the flow slows down from the faucet's. Check out supply lines and faucet for a blockage if this doesn't take care of the problem.

Check out this web sire for a parts breakdown of parts in faucet. Check out installation and rough in sheet for information on faucet below.

The kitchen sink makes a loud popping noise

Try removing the aerator on the faucet. If that resolves the popping sound, try replacing it with one that allows for a higher flow of water. (Also the existing aerator may be clogged).

Low water flow from kitchen faucet

Their is likely rust build up behind the valve connections to the hot and possibly cold water supply lines. Turn the water off to the house relieve the pressure and remove both valves. Once removed use a screwdriver to break up the rust. With a small bucket under both lines turn the water main back on slightly to clear rust. Replace both valves with new ones.
