WOWOW FaucetsHow to Fix Low Water Pressure in a Kitchen Faucet
Low water pressure in the kitchen faucet is usually caused by a clogged aerator, a partially closed shut-off valve, or a worn cartridge. In many cases, you can fix it yourself in less than an hour.
Step-by-Step Fix
- Check the shut-off valves under the sink and make sure they are fully open.
- Remove the aerator and clean out mineral buildup.
- Inspect the spray head for debris and clean the nozzles.
- Check the supply lines for kinks or damage.
- If pressure is still low, the faucet cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.
When to Call a Plumber
If the low pressure affects every faucet in the home, the problem may be with the main water supply or pressure regulator, and a plumber should inspect it.
