Cleaning Your Kitchen Faucet Screen: Quick, Easy Guide

  Cleaning Your Kitchen Faucet Screen: Quick, Easy Guide Over time, mineral buildup and debris can accumulate in the screen of a kitchen faucet, reducing water flow and, in some cases, affecting water pressure.

Labor is another major factor. A straightforward replacement in a kitchen with existing plumbing and an accessible under-sink area can be relatively inexpensive.
