    Thank you so much!! This faucet was installed less than a year ago and I couldn’t figure out why the water pressure was decreasing over the past week. There was some sediment and black film stuck to the filter screen. After cleaning that off and rinsing out the head, it works like new again! Much simpler than I thought it would be.

I had cleared the aerator, back flushed the cold, hot water and spray lines and I still had no pressure and had not realized that there was that small "screen" in the handle which in my case was a plastic ring with teeth piece that was clogged, as well the plastic tube inside the spiral steel pull out was kinked when it was attached to the spray handle.

I got a "well at least you tried" and it made me determined to fix the issue! I found your video because I wasn't sure how difficult it would be to take apart the facet.

    So glad I finally found the answer. When I saw the opening of the video, I said, "that's my faucet." Then when you asked, have you just moved into a new home..." I knew I would find the answer. Our faucet over the course of our first week here dwindled to a trickle. I followed your instructions and began thinking this wasn't the problem because flushing it out and tapping -- nothing came out. So I grabbed a Q-tip and began wiping the screen and the Q-tip was dirty. I repeated with two more and gave it a go. Viola!

    Who knew that 2 years later you’d still be helping people? Water pressure coming out of my kitchen faucet was pathetic.. my condo is definitely not a new build.. built in 1980’s, but we have a horrible problem with calcium and it’s build up. I took the head off and soaked it in a cup of vinegar because I know that will help dissolve that.. After soaking the entire head for about 15 minutes, I put the head back on and I have water pressure again!! You just saved me from the extra work of replacing a faucet that is only a few years old, not to mention the cost!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

    This informative video solved my faucet issue. I initially thought my battery was low on my no touch faucet and was the cause of the sudden low flow of water. I’m my KZread search on how to change the battery this video popped up describing my exact problem. I followed his instructions removed the faucet blew in it and soaked it in vinegar for about 15 minutes since I could see some calcium deposits rinsed it at replaced. Full flowing water resumed. I apparently have some really hard water since this is a new faucet which has only been installed for 6 weeks. I thought my faucet was defective.

Don’t know how I did it the first time, but THANK YOU ! The boyfriend (who is not handy) was very impressed ! If I had hired a plumber & that’s all he had to do, I would have been so pissed !
