Kitchen sink water pressure

When I bought my Sunseeker the water in the kitchen sink was running well. Now it's get running just little bit. I cleaned filter, but it's still running little bit. Without the filter running big stream, but with filter little.

Is that should be like that? I remember it was running good.

It appears you’ve answered your own question. Try replacing the screen on the faucet.

It turns out that what I blew it still needs to be replaced. I wonder if they are on sale.

Most of the big box hardware stores will have aerators that will work.

For those that want to try, pour some Lime-A-Way in a dish or cup, just enough to cover the aerator, then soak the aerator overnight. Rinse it out and put it back in place.

This works for shower heads too. Just takes more Lime-A-Way.

This suggestion might help in 2 areas, your clogged aerator and low water force when rinsing dishes. I bought a new faucet spray head from Amazon and it has the usual aeration stream and the shower stream on one push button. But then it has a second button that makes a more forceful flat stream like you might used to rinse plates and that stream is much more forceful. It screwed directly onto the spray hose with no adapter, easy peasy. Not exactly sure how they did it because it doesn’t appear that it has a reduced water flow, but boy does it work super well!

Here’s the Amazon link:

Can rave enough about this spray head!

Yes, I looked all of them. They having a very long Faucet Sprayer Head's, but I need little one. In my RV faucet is not very long to make sure it's folded inside the sink to close cover. If you don't need to use sink that cover can be used as table.

Actually I don't need to replace faucet, just filter. I found here "Faucet Cache Aerator" - https://www.amazon.com/Aerator-Repla...%2C170&sr=1-15

This is exactly what I need - https://www.amazon.com/Aerator-Restr...a-802774439165

Soak it in vinegar for a little while and then try it.

Water pressure is fine

The water pressure is (and was) fine. It is the same throughout your RV. The problem (as you eventually discovered) is a flow restriction, not a pressure change.
