Problem with Main kitchen Sink Faucet

[RichP21]

We’re hooked up to city water. The water flow coming out of the main sink sprayer is fine but the faucet has almost no water flow. Is this a problem with filter under the sink?

There is an aerator at the faucet outlet. It most likely needs to be removed and cleaned. You can purchase replacements at most hardware stores if yours has calcium deposits on it that can't be easily removed. Some faucets require a special tool to remove the aerator. If that's the case with yours, write down the faucet manufacturer's name, take a picture of the aerator and take that with you to the hardware store. They carry most brands and should have the tool needed.

Have had same issue. Unscrewing aerator to clean screen solved it.

Had same problem! NO need to replace the faucet! The strainer is just clogged, where the water comes out and "aerates". You just unscrew it counter-clockwise. The faucet on our 2016 is so nice at first it looks uncertain if the strainer is even removable, it is smooth and polished, etc...may not unscrew by hand and "hard to grab onto". I used a channel lock pliers and protected the chrome finish by using a latex glove as "chafing gear" over the jaws of the pliers. Unscrewed strainer, and fully clogged with a fine soft sediment, but easily unclogged, and BACK IN BUSINESS!
