Delta Kitchen Faucet Low Flow Fix 

This is the best video I've seen for DIY help. He explained everything perfectly and now I don't have to call a plumber for something so simple.

This has to be one of the best self help DIY Videos I have ever seen. This man puts the entire process in layman's terms. He took the time to prepare and structure this step by step video. i have seen videos where the "mechanic is clueless" just looking for likes. This guy is looking to be helpful. good for him

Texas Yard Man, I can't thank you enough. You explain everything perfectly. you are simiply the best, my friend. 🏆

You totally saved me with this one. I thought I needed to call a plumber but nope! All good now. Thanks so much!

This was great!!! We're senior citizens and don't usually attempt plumbing repairs, but Kevin's detailed video made it simple for us to clean out the strainer in our faucet. The only suggestion I'd make is to block the drain in the sink to prevent the little strainers from possibly falling down there. It didn't happen to us fortunately but we have a wire strainer in the drain all the time. Thank you Kevin...your video made our day!

2yrs later. This helped me alot. Very clear. Fixed my brand new faucet with this video. I thought for sure I had a water leak somewhere causing low pressure. Thank you.

Seriously helping the little people years later. Mine was installed a few months ago and here I am calling the installer thinking he messed up something. Turns out, a toothbrush and some needlenose and voila! Thank you so much! I think the flow is better than the day it was installed.

This was so helpful, thank you. I tried other videos but they did not have this model, and I kept trying to look for a screw that was not there. Nope, it was the screen. thanks again

I have the same faucet and was having the same issue. So before calling a plumber, I went on RU-vid and found this video. I followed the easy instructions and fixed the problem. Now my wife calls me her handyman. Thanks!.

This video was a life saver! I thought for sure it was an outside plumbing problem but this worked and saved me a call to the plumber! Thank you so much!

This just saved me. Our faucet has had low pressure for weeks. Couldn’t figure out how to get the head off. Watching this, I had it fixed in less than 5 minutes. Just needed to simplify clean that little screen and it’s like a new faucet.

Kevin- Texas Yard Man and More, BLESS YOU!!!! I just bought a new Delta faucet. Got it home, opened the box but since I've never replaced a faucet before, thought I'd look on ytube for an installation video. Thank goodness your video popped up and your title is EXACTLY the reason I bought a new faucet. Low flow! I removed both filters in the head of the original faucet, cleaned them and now the flow is better than I've seen coming out of that faucet for years! We have a tankless water heater and it needs good strong flow to trigger the hot water. We were considering purchasing new tankless heater but thought to try replacing the faucet first. Now we don't need a new faucet or heater thanks to your excellent video. I can't thank you enough. You've saved us a lot of money!

I wish I had seen this before I (1) cleaned the spray filter about 20 times (which didn't help) (2) backflushed both supply lines (which was a waste of time) and (3) replaced the cartridge (which didn't need doing). I never knew that the nozzle (or whatever it is called) had two screen filters. Thanks very much for the video,

I had been soaking the entire head in CLR, but it would last about a month and the flow slowed down. I knew there had to be something inside the head. Your video helped so much: clear instructions, clear video, and effective solution. Thank you so much!

You bloody genius!!! The screen where head meets the hose was my culprit!!

Lots of other videos. You got me sorted in < five minutes flat. Thanks very much. No plumber bill today!

As I sit here and wait for my 30 minute timer to go off..... I wanted to thank you for putting this together. I was on the phone earlier with "Moen" asking them how to clean this only to be embarrassed figuring out that I had a "Delta" model and low and behold, the one you have is the EXACT same one.... Would love to give you a thousand likes for this but I guess my 1 like will have to do and a HUGE THANK YOU!!!

You have no idea how much aggravation you saved me. I called the plumber who installed the faucet, but then I tried RU-vid just to see if anyone else was having my problem. Called the plumber back and cancelled because your video was spot on for the faucet I have. I only had to clean the screen at the hose connection, but now I know how to clean the other screens too. Good man.

This is the first video I found for this exact Aerator, thank you! I saw that pin for the screen, but I had no idea I could just pull it out! Thank you! Fixed my water pressure issue!

Thank you so much! I fixed my sink in just your first step. I disconnected it cleared the debris and there's flow again

I have 2 Delta faucets like these. The kitchen plugged up before and I used this method with great success. Now a year later, both the kitchen and laundry room faucet developed very slow flow. I fixed the laundry room faucet with this method, bit the second time I tried to do the kitchen head, the steel faucet screen with the tiny plastic tip would not pull out. It was stuck tight and I started to break off little black pieces of plastic. I did not want to break off that plastic tip completely, so I left that screen in place and poured the solution into the area above it. I let it percolate in place and then scrubbed a little with Advanced Gum teeth cleaners (the kind used instead of dental floss to clean between your teeth). I could see white plaque coming loose and so I rinsed and repeated and teased out the lime deposits, And it worked perfectly! So it is an alternate way to clean the steel screen piece, especially if yours gets stuck like mine.

OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH! There aren't any videos on this model and you saved me🙏

What a great help! For two weeks or longer, I was looking for higher gpm rated aerators. Could NOT find any (of that diameter) that were higher gpm than the original. Never imagined there was another screen somewhere, and I never thought to look here but there you were right on top…thanks!

Very helpful video. The best video on these two button faucets I could find on RU-vid.

I had low pressure for days, dreading the thought of calling a plumber, until I decided to research it first. Really appreciate your simple video with easy instructions!

Thanks so much ! I got my delta faucet working like brand new This saved the cost of a plumber visit. Thank you so much.

This was great. My faucet isn’t even two years old and the flow was slow. I fixed it on 5 minutes after watching your video.

I want to add my personal thank you for your accurate and detailed explanation to solve the same problem I was having with my gooseneck Delta faucet. Problem completely solved in a few minutes. Blessings from Tucson, AZ

Thank you for taking the time and energy to share this with strangers. God Bless.

I so much appreciate your having posted this video. The instructions that came with my faucet do a poor job of explaining how to disassemble the spray head and remove it from the hose. Your video is crystal clear on how to do each step of the disassembly. Thank you very much.

This video needs to be linked to from the Delta help page. I have this type of faucet head and even contacted Delta through their chatbox when I suspected the aerator was clogged. They sent me the aerator replacement part and a little plastic tool that has the notches that line up to remove the old one. Unfortunately there were no written instructions included so I had no clue how to use the tool. Watching other videos, I fell for the pry off the black buttons approach only to not find a screw there as per those videos. Felling defeated, I checked the videos again and buried about 25 videos deep was yours. Thank you so much !!!

Perfect step by step video and fixed the low water pressure. Thank you for taking your valuable time to make this video.

I looked all over the place for a fix. This was perfect. Thank you for saving a repair bill for me. Faucet works great now.

Thank you! I’ve been frustrated with my low flow faucet for months and five minutes of your video and it was fixed. 🎉

I have got a situation that my faucet suddenly stop working. I suspected it was a broken handle cartridge. It happened to me before when the handle couldn’t shut off totally. So, I run to Home Depot getting a Delta handle cartridge! Replaced it and still didn’t work. When I crossed your video, I decided to take a look at the head. It turned out the head screen was seriously blocked by some carbon mud. I think that was from my under sink water filter. Although I wasted $40, I’m happy to get that fixed. Thanks!

I had low pressure just like Tina for about a week. You made it so easy. Thank you so very much. I’ll have CLR under my sink tomorrow. GOD Bless you.

Thank you for the video. I have about 10 more minutes of soaking the exact same Kitchen faucet head and associated filter parts in the cut up water bottle like you demonstrated. It was enlightening and easy to listen/follow, similar to country western line dance lessons (visual with verbal step by step communication at a slow learning pace, any misunderstood step will get a person lost in the lesson process). Great job!!

I’m a 60 year old lady and thanks to your video I was able to fix my faucet

The simple instructions and video worked perfectly with our low flow problem. We were about to replace the faucet until I run into your video. Thanks a lot, the faucet now runs perfectly.

Thank you for your video. I’m so glad I ran into it after numerous searches . I did exactly what you instructed and it fixed the problem in a couple of minutes! 👍

Thank you so much, your video was great. Being a 63yr old woman, I needed to do a water test and had no idea how to disassemble it since my faucet and sprayer are old. Mine was not exactly like yours, but close enough. I cleaned it with apple cider vinegar and I have a lot better pressure now.

Thank you so much! I showed this video to my husband and he fixed in a couple of minutes. We didn’t soak and faucet works much better now! Thanks for saving us from buying a new faucet again.

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. Without your video, I would break the utility aerator when trying to remove it. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated.🙏❤

Thanks A LOT for this video! I spent 3 hours replacing two angle stops under my sink, only to realize I needed to "replace" this $200+ faucet I bought from Lowes/Home Depot. Or do I.....? I followed these steps exactly and ALL IS GOOD (and I have, er...new angle stops {sigh}).

My faucet actually worked better than install after this video . I’m truly thankful for finding this video . Thanks for video .

Thanx. Great vid!! Very thorough. If I may suggest - put that sink strainer in so small parts wont go down the drain.

That little screen you took out with the needle nose pliers fell out of mine, I put it back together without the screen and had a lot more water pressure, I believe it is a water resticter, something to do with a government regulation.

Kevin! Good Job! Thank you for your detailed disassembly instructions of the Delta Faucet Spray-head! I found debri clogging our micro screen pullout filter & cleaned it per your instructions and …..WALLAH! Fixed! Flushing out the pullout hose per your recommendation as you showed is important to eliminate other clogs upstream from the Spray-head. I also used CLR per your recommendation for additional cleaning. Thank you! Rick

Thanks a million! I had already cleaned the diffuser screen on the bottom of the head and had no luck. I then read somewhere it could be the cartridge itself located in the handle area, and that was also a bust. Ended up being that small screen you showed that you pulled out with needle nose. Works like new! Thanks again!

This video is absolutely amazing!! You fixed my kitchen faucet man! Thank you and may God bless you.

Thank you so much for your great explanation about fixing the water flow problem of kitchen faucet! Bless you! Your video just saved me from calling a plumber, and you know how much they cost! I just fixed my faucet exactly how you explained and my faucet is fixed!!! Thank you!

Worked great! You were spot on with every aspect right to the use of an empty water bottle! Thanks.

Excellent video! My head got clogged when I cleaned my water heater and debris messed it up! You wxplained so well and it took me 10 mins to do everything!!

Your video was spot on. Fixed my faucet low pressure problem in under 5 mins. Thanks

Nice Polish pottery strainer holder! This was great. Most others do not address this particular head. Thanks

God Bless you! I just did this and it WORKED,!!! My husband had been told the low pressure was because we have an old home (built in 1922) and the pipes prob needed to be cut out and replaced!!! I knew that was a load of BS. I saw your video, followed it exactly, and my faucet is good as new!!!! The single stream and spray modes are strong vs the skinny pour we were getting, and now the Delta SplashShield mode works! YAY!! To any one watching this who is not mechanically inclined and might be thinking it might be too hard to do this, give it a try! I'm as girly-girl as they come, and I was scared I might reak the faucet, but it was easy! Tip: I laid a large towel over the sink drain just in case any of the smaller parts fell (tiny filter and small aerator parts). THANKS again for your very helpful video! You saved us a lot of money!! I just sub'd to your channel. .

Thank you so much! You showed it all so clearly, so perfectly. You saved me some money and I couldn't be more appreciative. Many, many thanks for your wonderful video!

Thank you for your video! It was perfect! I fixed my clogged Delta faucet by watching your video! Cheers!

Yep! You did - saved me a load of time, frustration, and expense. I have the exact same design. I was probably going to break something. I'm shocked that Delta doesn't have an easy-to-find video for cleaning aerators. Oh, sure, they have one to clean the exterior to keep it shiny, but the practical fun ruining of the thing? No. Thank you!

Thanks, TYMM. I thought I'd have to take mine apart but your simple instructions saved me a lot of work. In my case, removing that small strainer fixed the problem. There were pieces of what looked like white nylon clogging it. I removed the strainer, cleared out all the little pieces and the water flows freely now. Thanks again for making the video. :)

Best video to date for fixing our faucet head! Thank you!

Thanks for posting, this was very helpful and prevented me from breaking it!!👌👍👍

Thank you so much! Just what I needed to fix my “way too new to be having issues” Delta faucet.

This was so helpful and fixed the problem in minutes. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Excellent!

THANK YOU for this video!!! It’s perfect and best of all it fixed my water pressure problem with the Delta! After all the problems I’ve had with faucets for this kitchen sink, I was sure a video couldn’t help this time (videos didn’t help with the cheap Lowes faucet last year) but it did! Btw, don’t ever buy Lowes Project Source anything.

Thanks for your video it helped beyond words. Our new delta kitchen faucet was flowing less than 1 gpm, I think the installer failed to flush the line when replacing our kitchen sink and faucet. Thanks again for your video and thanks for sharing the simple fix. John

Thank you for making this video!! It was very much needed and couldn't find anything else out there. :)

thank you so much for posting this video it was a fantastic way to see how to clean this faucet. You really save me a lot of time and heartache! i appreciate you!

Thank you sir. The faucet in my kitchen is an American standard identical to yours. Opens up...Get this...exactly the same.

THANX 4 THIS VIDEO. IT WAS VERY HELPFUL AND USEFUL. TOP MARKS MATE 🙂🙂🙂👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎯🎯🎯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Super helpful, man. I was so confused this morning when only my kitchen faucet was running at a trickle. Turns out this particular faucet head has a filter in it finer than most. I just sprayed the gunk out of the faucet head until it ran clear and viola. Next step: whole house water filter.

Wow. Great video. Worked like a charm! I was soaking the head and it would work ok for about 3 or 4 days and then I'd have low water pressure again. Taking the filters out is key. The one in the neck was clean, but the one on the head was pretty gunky. I scrubbed it with Dawn and a toothbrush. Then I soaked the head and scrubbed that also. I did have to buy a pair of skinny needle-nosed pliers for the job. It's working like the day I bought it! Thanks so much!

Thank you for a clear and complete explanation. I was ready to buy a new faucet head. I went right by your instructions, and I am getting so much pressure now - possibly more than when installed! You are the king.😊

Thank you so so much for this video! My faucet was getting less and less pressure every day it seemed. Now I know how to fix it. I was amazed at all the sand that was in it. Hopefully it will have better pressure when I put it back together. Great job o the video.

EXACTLY what I needed!!! Perfect explanation and demonstration!

Texas Yard Man this video just helped me so much. Perfectly explained and the knot in the hose is so key! Thank you

This fixed the water pressure job! Thank you! I should have looked their first before getting under the sink. I found all that dirt and debri like you stated.

OMG...this was just what I needed to see to fix my slow water flow! Thanks

Great video, thank you. Unfortunately, like the other person had the slow flow (mine was the cold water), it's still slow. But sometimes fixes are a process of elimination. Your video was very good at showing how to step by step, take it apart, which was much needed, can't believe how much gunk was in there. Thanks again.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! Thank you SO much. Very hard to find my Delta model.

I am having an identical problem just like the one you presented in your video. Thank you for doing that. As soon as I get the basic tools (needle head and a flat head screwdriver and some type of chemical, I will go ahead and do the cleaning. I have a strong belief that my problem will be solved. Thank you again.

Thanks man...!!!! Mine was clogged. You saved me a lot of headaches...!!! It worked like a charm...!!!

Thank you for your video. I just cleaned mine and I can't believe the difference. Thanks again

I had changed out the cartridge & that didn’t fix my problem. Watched this video & fixed the problem. Thank you so much for this video!

This was amazingly easy to follow and fixed my low flow issues. Thanks!

Thank you so much. Your instructions were great as I was having trouble getting the first part off!! I did not use the CLR, but it is working great!

Got me fixed and water running fast. Thank you for your help. I have a black tool that came with the faucet that removes the round screen very easily. Great help!

Thank you!! I just fixed my sink using your video and I am so happy to have my sink working well again.

Thank you thank you thank you !! When I unhooked the hose from the faucet head and tapped it on my counter mineral deposits came out!! Faucet is working like new again !!!

Thank you so much. You just helped an old lady who would have called a plumber.

God bless Texas!! Thank you for revalidating my Man Card, sir! This is precisely what the internet was meant for.

You just save me a couple hundred dollars I did this and fixed my faucet and made my wife happy!

Thank you so much for making this video. I followed your instructions and fixed my tap.

Excellent, thank you! Just what I needed. Costco sells 2 gals of white vinegar for $5. Great for toilet rings and faucet head soaks. Removes all minerals. Use in tea kettles and spray around faucet bases too. I want to remove the faucet water flow restrictor inside the faucet. CA has this in all faucets.

This saved me! Thank you so much for your idiot proof instructions! My husband is amazing at a lot of things but he really hates household fix-it chores. It's far more enjoyable for me to figure it out on my own. I likely would have broken the head trying to screw the darn thing off! I'm on the Northern CA coast and out water is very mineral heavy. We always have a couple gallons of white vinegar on hand so I used that to soak all parts and it worked like a champ! Thank you again... you're my hero of the day!

I wonder how to get screen out! Pulled it out and cleaned now works like a champ Thank you

Thanks so much for this video! I have this same faucet and love it but the flow was down to a trickle. I couldn’t find anything that said how to clean the aerator. We have super hard water also. Thanks again!!😊

Very helpful, thanks! the inner screen was blocked by mini-pebbles- back in business now w thorough cleaning of all parts in a 50/50 white vinegar/water solution and toothbrush . Appreciate your post!

Thanks so much. This is my exact faucet and following your instructions fixed my low flow issue. Thanks!

Awesome video! Fix my watch trickel thanks to you! Saved me at least $200.
