    Posted: 19 Apr 2011 at 5:51pm
we ran into a problem this past weekend which has be baffled.  Our kitchen faucets which up until now have worked fine suddenly won't work. The strange part is we do have water for the toilet & shower.  I check the city water connection. Took out the filter screen it looks fine. I took off the access panel to under the sink to see if I could see any blockage anywhere.  I couldn't find anything. 

Just was wondering if anybody had something like this happen to them?

Someone else ran into this before, it ended being manufacturing debris in the sink's faucet assembly.  Since you have already checked the screen, also try removing the handles and opening up the valves below them to look inside.

PMJensen,

We had a mystery like that as well. It ended up being a kink in the line that opened and closed due to the changing pressure in the water line when faucets were turned off or on. Does that make sense? It is kind of hard to describe. Hubby reinforced the bent part of the line with some tape and it stopped collapsing inward. Hope you solve your mystery soon!

It makes sense. That is something I will check also.

Thanks to those offering suggestions.  It was a clogged aerator/strainer on the end of the faucet.  Unscrewed and cleaned it.  All is good with the Nuestro Pod.
