water pressure

I just had a plumber install a new faucet with a water sprayer. I have reduced water pressure. Water pressure was fine before. Also water pressure is fine on the rest of the faucets in my home. Can anyone help?

Often, just the process of turning off the stop valve under the sink, then turning it back on again, liberates mineral deposits or other debris, which then promptly lodges in an aerator or sprayer. Proper procedure for installing any faucet is to remove the aerator before turning water back on. Then the pipes and faucet are flushed, then reinstall the aerator.

You could start by removing the aerator, and see if you have pressure. If that doesn't do it, you have to move back. First, check to ensure that the stop valve is actually turned all the way open. Then, you may have to remove the supply line from the valve to the faucet, to see if it has become plugged.

Check a few things like this and get back to us.
