I have a Jado Shogun faucet with side spray. When I turn on the hand spray, only about 25% of the water comes out through the spray. The remaining 75% of water continues to come out from the faucet. How can I fix so the water comes out from the spray with pressure and not out from the faucet?,

Hi ssam1

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

You want to know if you can fix a sudden low volume /pressure delivery problem on an American Standard model AS4205100 H7, one hole / single lever with pullout spray And is it fixable by owner?

Yes and maybe!

All plumbing systems are plauged with debrie buildup. Every time you turn on a faucet the water starts moving and will bring bits of debrie up from the water main or well. Most are small and will pass through to be caught by the screen in the aireator. Sometimes a relatively large piece comes along and dosen't make it through to the screen. It is stuck in the body of the valve.
Fixing takes a little mechanical ability.
First, turn off the water to the faucet in question. Then carefully disasemble paying close attention to the order of disasembly so you can reverse the order when putting back together. As each part is removed inspect it for that troublesome bit. I find that a little bit of wire or a paper clip is helpfull. Carefully reasemble. If the volume is still low then you missed finding that bit. Try again or call in a local pro.

Your problem is a simple one.

1. Turn off water to faucet.
2. Place a towel(s) in the base of the sink(s) to prevent any parts from going down drain.
   
3. Remove the handle to the faucet. (single handle only)
   
4. If not a single handle then remove spout from faucet.
5. If a single handle remove cap carefully and any loose parts.
6. Gently turn spout side to side while lifting to remove.
7. You will see a hole with a very small valve where the water comes out to the spout on the base of the faucet.

1. Remove this valve (which is a backflow preventer) and replace.
2. Reassemble and test.
   

SOURCE: side spray has very low pressure

Disassemble the sprayer and remove the dirt and dibri gathered inside.

Reassemble.

Has the water been turned off to that faucet, or the entire home recently? If yes, it probably loosened sediment in the pipes and its clogging the sprayer.

Here is a link to the repair parts page on Jado website for your faucet. Exploded diagram shows how the thing goes together...

http://www.jadousa.com/assets/repair/842001_repair.pdf

The handle assembly and collar (8) will thread off after pushed past the limit of the cartridge (gentle consistent pressure)...

In terms of leak itself its hard to say but if the faucet froze from sediment build up and is now leaking it is likely that part of the cartridge is 'clogged' open...

Hope that helps...

SOURCE: The faucet continues to run when using the side spray.

under the neck of the faucet is a small cone in the side of the body.this is your spray diverter,it may be clogged,it may be spring loaded or a presure valve you must remove and clean. then it will work right.
