hey appliance fixer im gonna have a question for you.

why would a kitchen sink lose water pressure? both hot and cold. only kitchen faucet. everything else has good pressure. also faucet is less than a year old.

its the kind that has the little hose on faucet tip so you can pull out.

If it's both hot and cold, it suggest checking your aerator (the mesh screen inside the faucet). Over time these can clog up with debris or other things found in your water supply such as calcium.

You can also try checking the supply lines that connect to the check valve. Depending on the type of line you have those sometimes has mesh screens on the inside as well that might be clogged up. But usually it's the aerator that needs cleaning or replacement.

CLR it?

Could work, but it depends what it's clogged with. Depending on the faucet you/he has, the aerator can be super easy and cheap to replace. Some cost a little more because you might have to buy the whole sprayer nasal and just replace. Not all are made to come apart.

Also in my experience, when water to the whole building needs to be shut off for maintenance, when turned back on, dirt and other minerals get through the water system and your water will run brown for a little bit before turning clear. That's the dirt. So if that's the case then it might be slow just due to some dirt that needs to be rinsed off.

When I lived in Portland I thought the water was fine. No taste, nice and clear. But after a few years I checked one of my aerators just for the fuck of it, even though there was no pressure loss, and it was gunked up with some really nasty looking shit. Like thick dark earwax looking stuff. Now to be fair this was an aerator that was 7+ years old. Took a long time to build that up, but afterwards I just had my company buy me a whole new kitchen faucet.

its not clogged. i took the faucet part off so it was just the extend hose and still low pressure.

google said there is a thing in the base that can go bad. like how the lever does both hot and cold the part that regulates or combines the two into one. sounds like it would be easier to replace whole thing but it was $250 faucet. i expected it to last more than a year.
