Low kitchen tap pressure

[Headstart]

I only have less than a pencil width of water coming out of both hot and cold water kitchen taps. All others flow full stream.
Any ideas on what to look for? And where?
Thanks

Take your screen out of the tap.
It probably needs cleaned.

agree

Try soaking it in CLR

Yep, if there are more than two try just two.

Is this a new problem or existing from new? Sometimes construction debris can get into the lines and pile up at the elbows or where the pipes go into the faucet. Check the screens first, but if it doesn't help then disassemble the faucet itself and see if there is any constriction in there. the fact that it is only happening to one faucet AND both hot and cold suggest it is in the faucet or the screen at the tap.

If your sink is in a slide the lines may be pinched also.

My Georgetown XL gave me grief from new to about a year and one half out with plugged screens in both the kitchen and bathroom faucets and the toilet. Every time we went out camping everything would plug up. I got into a routine of cleaning the screens every time we set up. Finally, whatever was in the tanks got flushed out. The material was black plastic looking debris. Good luck with the problem and Happy New Year.

Check the screen at the hook up in your utilities center as well. Mine was pretty dirty there and at the kitchen sink. After it was cleaned the pressure returned to normal. It's easy to overlook the easy things when you start thinking from worst case scenario.

Had the same problem, but mine was white particles and calcium. Still getting it no matter how many times we flushed the tanks

Same problem here, we cleaned all the screens. Waiting for the spring so we can hook back up to water and check pinch hoses or for clogs.

Thanks for all the feedback!

The white particles may be from the anode rod if you have a suburban water heater. If you haven't already flushed it out the water heater tank you may need to do that.

Thanks for reply, we have been changing the Anode rod every 6 months, Hubby put himself thru law school as a mechanic, so he is crazy with cars, rv running to perfection. I'm going to suggest to him maybe we need to blow the water heater out more.
