Do you have galvanized pipes? They can corrode from the inside.

Jane;


I presume there is a flex line to the wand with a hose connected to the


facet under the sink, the seal may have deteriated causing the flow to


decrease,since you say the rest of the house is OK. check it out???

Do you have a shut-off valve(s) under the sink? You could have an obstruction at the valve or it could be just defective. You may want to consider changing out the valves.

When you say kit wand sprayer are you talking about the pull out sprayer? Is the water comming out of the spout ok? If the water is coming out of the spout ok and not the sprayer head it is the diverter causing the problem if this is the case let us know what brand faucet and can tell you were it is in the faucet to replace or clean.



Without plumbers the world would have more crap to deal with.

I Changed the diverter and it made it sprays well now but the hose that


is connected to the sink itself underneath is vibrating now when I just turn on the water from the faucet and the pressure goes high and low inintermittently


this is the spray wand hose itself. My lines are copper.


Thanks again guys

It is still your diverter what you are explainning is classic diverter problem.It is engaging and disengaging rapidly causing your problem.take out and clean if it is a new one.As much problems as you are having with it you seem to be getting alot of debris in you system.

Hi Jane,


I had a similar problem with a Delta type set up. I took the assembly out and took it apart and it was corroded and clogged at the base of the assembly where the hose for the sprayer hooks into the base. I was about ready to buy a new assembly until a plumber friend said to check this out. Hope it helps.
