Kitchen sprayer problem
-
Patricia W on Sep 10, 2013You could have a blocked screen in your sprayer. Alot of times pipes get build up in them. You may have dislodged some calcium or rust, anything in the pipes and it headed into the pipe that goes to your hose. I would see if there is any bits in it. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply

Matina V on Sep 11, 2013I've heard that about the diverter but I don't know what it is and so far the internet hasn't helped much! I feel like calling a plumber for such a small thing would be silly but I might just have to.Helpful Reply

Becky P on Sep 11, 2013you probably need to replace the diverter. It is pretty easy to replace. Most faucets come with a warranty, I would call them and see if they will replace the part. I have gotten all sorts of parts for the cost of about $5 shipping for my Price Pfister. Even a new sprayer!Helpful Reply

Plumbrite on Sep 12, 2013it sounds the diverter is the problem. It is most likley under the spout, yuo will need to remove the handle the retaining nut,(just like if you are replacing the cartridge) and the you will be able to lift off the spout, and the diverter will be on the brass body.Helpful Reply

Leona G on Sep 12, 2013You could go to one of the big box stores and talk to the people in the plumbing dept. I have the staff at the stores to be very helpful.Helpful Reply

Window Replacement Orange County on Sep 12, 2013I think you should check the mesh inside the sprayer, which sprays the water it might have blocked because same situation i faced recently... Dear Matina check it once !Helpful Reply

Tabby on Sep 12, 2013@Matina V if the faucet continues to run as same time, it is definitely the diverter. Check youtube.com or instructables.com for videos on how to replace. You can do it yourself. (turn off water at valve under the sink first haha) I find small local 'mom & pop owned' hardware stores to have more knowledgeable people than the big-box ones that hire college students.Helpful Reply

Gail lichtsinn on Sep 13, 2013The diverter diverts water into your hose sprayer when you push the spray lever..It probably is the diverter..Go to lowes etc and ask in the plumbing dept..Hope for the head of the department because they usually know as oppossed to some of the young kids who work there on week ends..Helpful Reply
