I have low water pressure only at my kitchen sink. What could the problem be?
Sounds like an obstruction. I would simply unscrew the aerator and then turn on the faucet. If you have good pressure, then the aerator screens are gummed up. Just drop the aerator in a glass of white vinegar and let it soak over night. In some instances, the supply line to the kitchen faucet may have a piece of crud or a small pebble blocking the line. In that case, you may need to remove the faucet stem and try to flush out any debris. Make sure you cut the water off under the sink first! Remove the stem, check the washers for wear & tear while they’re out. SLOWLY….turn the water on and let it bubble up and try to flush out the debris. If you turn it on full force, you’ll have a geyser in your kitchen. I’d be willing to bet that the majority of the time it’ll be a clogged up aerator.
