Hi,

Just purchased a house with septic & well water.

All other house faucets have good water flow except the kitchen sink. Made sure all valves are open. Water still does not flow good. Hot and cold has the same slow flow. Removed faucet aerator and water still does not flow good.

We are having construction done so I have not been able to try this yet, but I will turn off the supply, disconnect the hose from the fixture end and place it in a bucket. I will turn the water on and check the flow. That should rule out the fixture. My gut says it's the fixture, but who really knows.

I suppose the issue could be the hose between the faucet shutoff valve and the fixture.

Is there anything else I can try besides those two things? If they don't work, I may have to call a plumber.

Thanks for any advice.

Most of this should have been revealed during the pre-inspection by a professional home inspector.

But any house that sits idle for months can/will have these types of issues. Does the faucet have stops under the sink?

Best Wishes

If there is a spray hose attachment, the faucet will have an integral diverter. Remove the diverter and see if the pressure increases. If so, replace the diverter. If not, try your method.
