Kitchen sprayers are handy for washing off the sink, vegetables, or even for washing your hair. Despite their usefulness they are not needed or used all of the time. The periods of disuse can lead to a buildup and low water pressure.
I notice many kitchen faucet sprayers have a tendency to clog up and not allow much water pressure through the head of the sprayer. Here is a quick tip to soak off that hard water build up and unclog the sprayer head. This quick fix can restore the water pressure and usefulness of your sink sprayer.
If for some reason a descaling doesn't work or if you have a leak in the sprayer hose itself, you may need to replace it. Instead of changing the whole faucet you could replace the sink sprayer. This is a little more involved but is still very easy to do yourself.
To help keep the sink sprayer in good working order, make a habit of using it on a regular basis. Just a quick spray can keep it from clogging up or drying out and causing a leak.

I often use my kitchen sprayer and I have noticed that the water pressure is becoming less each time I use it. I followed the video and now it works perfectly! Thank you so much, I did think that I would have to get it replaced.
What would cause the water in my kitchen sink sprayer sour between uses? Even if I use it daily, the water still has the odor of sour water and I hesitate to use it because of the germs from the water. How can this be repaired? My husband installed the new faucets and sprayer around the first of the year and they work fine. The odor just started in the past few weeks.
Thank you.
