I have put a new diverter in because my spray wand has no pressure


or works well. I checked the lines , First I turned both hot and cold off then one at a time on , I notice that the cold water barley had water coming out


but the hot came out fine . then turned both on again and still mu pressure


is weak. On e thing though I took the aerater off and the water seem to come out fine . so I cleaned the aerater and put it back on and the pressure is back to low, help.

Have you checked the cold water pressure at the faucet yet, not through the spray arm? Still sounds like you have a restriction and it could be a the water shut off

Hi Jane,


I have found on several occasions that the angle stop was to blame in this situation. All other means were checked by the homeowner and when the angle stop was replaced the problem went away. They do clog up especially where there is high mineral content in the water. Just a suggestion. Take care.
