Thanks to Plbg.com, I fixed the low pressure on the faucet. This unit has a spout that pulls out of the handle. I had replaced the pressure tank on my water pump. After that, there was low pressure in the kitchen faucet. I inspected the screen on the faucet and it was clean. I turned to this site for help because I can't afford a $200 faucet. There was a post recommending removing the pull out handle from the flexable hose it is connected to. Happily I could do this since the handle simply unscrewed from the flexable hose. I removed the screen from the handle and forced water backwards through the handle. Some debris came out. I supposed it was from when I changed the pressure tank. Anyway, I reassembled the works and the pressure is now working good as new. Thanks again to this site and the many people who post here!!!

Well done, young grasshopper. You have become enlightened to the secrets of "back-flushing" debris against the current. This is one of the hallmarks of a True Jedi Plumber. May the force be with you!
