Normally it's the faucet screen that clogs first. That's a simple clean it or replace. Does your faucet have a screen? If not I would want to find out why the faucet is gunking up, depending on last time this has happened. Yea, you can clean or replace, but if it just keeps gunking on you the problem is still there. Maybe a whole house filter attached to your inlet or an under the sink filter under the problem faucet may help. A yearly flush of the hot water heater also seems to help us. (things to do list...) :-) best. |
