This is our first time owning a house. about a week ago we had to replace a leaky kitchen faucet, so we turned off the main water supply lever outside. We also turned off the lever of the gas water heater. There’s also a solar water heater that we didn’t mess with or turn off. After we fixed the leaky faucet, we turned all the levers back into the "on" position.

Now I noticed that for the past week our shower/tub in the master bedroom has not been as hot as it used to get. After the 2nd (15 minute) shower, the water turns very cool.

Not sure what is going on? Do I have to push that button where the temperature dial is? We didn’t mess with that and has been in the on position the whole time.

(need my hot showers back )

About a week ago the cold water pressure in my kitchen tap all but disappeared. The flow is now very slow. The hot is fine and both the hot and cold in all other faucets in the house are fine as well. The kitchen tap is a "mixer type" (one handle for both the hot and cold combined). My first thought was the cartridge is shot. The set screw that holds the faucet lever in place broke off so that I could not remove the handle to get at the cartridge. OK so now my repair gets more expensive and I replaced the entire tap… I still have the same issue! My house is relatively new as it was built in 2006 and I have pex piping through out. I am hooked up to city water supply and am not on a well. I do not think there is a issue with scale or rust build up in the lines as pex is plastic. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this issue? The only thing I can think of is that there is some type of blockage in the pipe below my kitchen sink. Does this make sense to anyone or has anyone heard of this issue before? If this is a blockage how would I go about clearing the pipe? I don’t want to start chopping pipes out and rep[lacing them if I can avoid it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ray
Just to clarify… I have already replaced the entire faucet. The cold water is still doing the same thing that it did with the last faucet… very low pressure and far less flow than the hot water. I have tried disconnecting the cold water under the sink (at the under sink shut off valve) and letting this run into a pail. The pressure was weak at this point also. I was able to stop the flow with my thumb over the end of the pipe. I also tried leaving the cold water open at the tap and tapping on the waterline at every connection. Nothing has even remotely helped so far. If I don’t figure this out in the next few days I may need to resort to calling a plumber… does anyone know a reasonably priced plumber that covers Markham (north of Toronto)? I was thinking of cutting the waterline (after shutting off the main water of course) and hooking up a compressor but I was not too sure about this… I don’t want to make myself a Darwin candidate! Any ideas or thoughts on the matter a

same response whether i use the hot or cold lever…

i am trying to replace the cartridges in my dual lever kitchen sink to stop a drip. i went to the store with the old ones and got the correct replacements. now i got them in, but they must not be right because i can’t stop the water once i turn the supply back on! they handles move the correct way, but they don’t affect the water flow at all. i’m sure it’s something stupid i didn’t do right – but please help!

I raise the kitchen faucet lever up, but maybe there isn’t enough water pressure to keep it there. It falls slowly and I have to lift it again. Is there some spray or something I can use to increase the friction?
Actually I just found the answer on the faucet website. Donald M had it right. There was a small cap, popped it off and then tightened internal "screw" with phillips head screwdriver and that solved it.

I just purchased and installed a Price Pfister Florentino 2 lever kitchen faucet. When turning off the hot water, the lever rotates beyond the off position and gets out of alignment. I keep having to unscrew the handle, realign it and tighten it back in place. But it quickly get turned around again with normal use. What should I do to fix this permanently??

I am removing a single lever, 1 hole sink, kitchen faucet. it is a danze faucet. It does not have a nut on it under the sink, but it appears to be tightened. what other ways are these faucets attached to the sink? i have the lines disconnected but i cant remove the faucet. i took the handle off too, but i dont see any screws or anything. please help!!!
There were to screws in the bottom but they werent screwed into a nut. could it just be sealed with some sort of gasket?

I think Delta discontinued making this kitchen faucet for whatever reason

no water from cold water position of lever on faucet and only warm to hot water in any other position.
Any suggestions?
