Kitchen Faucet Low Water Pressure Fix Guide | Aerator & Screen Cleaning Quick Sheet

Fix weak kitchen faucet flow by checking and cleaning the most common restriction points. This printable quick sheet walks through diagnosing low pressure at a single faucet, checking the hidden handle screen when applicable, removing and cleaning the aerator, safely reassembling the faucet, testing the flow, and knowing when the problem may be farther upstream.

Important: Faucet designs vary by brand and model. Check your manufacturer’s instructions before forcing apart unfamiliar components, and stop if parts will not loosen normally or water pressure remains low after cleaning. Contact a qualified plumber if you are unsure about the cause or repair.
