Hi there,
I need to replace the spray nozzle on my 1998 Safari. I am just now taking it out of storage and found it had cracked over the winter.
I need to replace it, find a place to purchase it and can anyone tell me if that is why I have no water coming into the faucet itself because the nozzle is leaking?
Terri
Ps. Also my pressure seems very low.

Any hardware stores sell the screw on sprayer for your faucet. Quite likely the screen in the damaged sprayer is plugged with "crud". You should remove and clean the bathroom and shower faucets as well. Hopefully you winterized the system before storage.

You can also replace the faucet with on that has a pullout faucet instead of a separate sprayer (this would be my preference). Most standard kitchen faucets will work.

There is an automatic diverter to send water to the sprayer when there is a release of pressure in the sprayer any time the faucet is running, whether pulling the trigger or a leak.

So my hardware stores do not have a screw-on type spray nozzle. The worst part of this search is that I have already done it, found one, replaced it, and I can't do it again!
I have looked at all the sites that carry this stuff, maybe I'm not using the right term/name?
I'm on a bit of a time crunch, so even if someone can tell me how to get water to the kitchen sink without the sprayer as a fix for now, it would be appreciated!

The part is called a kitchen faucet aerator. Even wallmart sells them!! Any hardware or building material store sells them in different styles. Take the old one off and take it with you to the plumbing department. If you have no water coming to the sink, it could be one of several problems. Do you have water in the bathroom? Areyou connected to city water? Do you have water in your tank? Are you running your pump? These are all things that we have to know to help you!!

I would still put in a new faucet, maybe that's just me.

OK!!! OK!!! No need to yell CBWELL!

I KNOW that I just need the actual spray head. I also know I can't buy it that way, I have to buy the hose also.
Here in Maine things are a bit different, harder to find things you need.
I will try Home Depot and Lowe's tomorrow.
Thank You.

I was able to replace the sprayer at the kitchen sink but now I have no water coming from the bathroom sink. the shower has water, toilet is working.
When I first opened everything up the sink was working a little.
Can air get in the lines and prevent water from getting through?
If so, how to I fix that?

That sounds like the aerator on the bathroom faucet is now clogged. Remove aerator, check faucet if working, clean aerator then reinstall.
