We have kitchen faucet that is the farthest one from the water entry point in the house. It always has seemed to have a little lower pressure than several others we have in the house, but recently the flow in this one has dropped drastically. I was wondering if this might be due to something wrong with mixing device in the faucet and whether it needs to be replaced.
The faucet is a Kohler single hole mounting, single lever type with a pull out spray head. The mixing cartridge is a plastic assembly with 2 O-rings on the bottom. I can see 2 little springs inside, but the assembly doesn't look like it was meant to be taken apart so I couldn't check for obstructions inside.
Is it likely that just replacing the cartridge will fix it? I've seen them at Home Depot and Lowes. Or should I be looking somewhere else for the cause.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
