Roto-Rooter’s Austin plumbers can handle any kitchen sink plumbing job. A common issue is due to build up of debris in the water. As debris flows through the aerator at the end of the faucet it begins to block the tiny holes to mix the air and water, which creates a soft stream of water.
Below are a couple of suggestions to alleviate this:
- Try removing the aerator from the end of the spout and clean it out.
- Installation of a sand filter on the supply lines to the faucet/ house.
Aerators are little strainers screwed into the end of faucets. They can be removeded by unthreading counterclockwise. At the back end of the strainer there is a very small opening designed to restrict the flow of water to conservation standards and to insert air to help prevent water from splashing. They commonly can get clogged, which reduces the pressure available to the faucet. It is a good idea to clean the aerators annually to improve the functionality of your faucet.
