Hello,

My kitchen faucet is experiencing low water pressure. I have changed the cartridge, aerator and hoses. The pressure has not improved, actually it became worst. A small piece, see attached, came off under the faucet handle, I put this piece back but the flow is worst as i mentioned.

I believe its a Moen faucet as the cartridge is a Moen 4000.

The handle held sprayer works without issue. The low pressure is isolated to the faucet.

Thoughts on how I can improve the water pressure?

Thank you for reading.

I believe that is the dirertor for the spray. Take the supply lines off at the faucet underneath and then hold each one into a bucket and see if you have pressure at the valves. If you do then its in the faucet. If not its the valves or the line going to them. What does the faucet look like and what brand is on it.
 
Thank you for the reply.

See attached for a picture of the faucet.

I don't see a brand on the faucet however the new cartridge I installed was a Moen 4000 (Kerox).
