The hot water in my kitchen sink is cloudy. Kind of a milky off white.

Also the water pressure for both hot and cold seems to be lower than
when I bought it years ago, but only in the kitchen. But it may have
happened so slowly that I haven't noticed.

But here is what's odd. Other hot faucets aren't cloudy. And they
have higher water pressure than the kitchen.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks for any advice.

Fill a clear glass with the cloudy hot water and
let it sit. Does the water become clear? Yes?
There's your answer. The cloudiness is due to air
in the water. Now your job is to just forget it,
or find out how the air got in the water.

Yes it becomes clear.

Thanks for help. I read that it is due to "air in water". Where that
air would come from, I don't know. Why is it only in that faucet? Is
that ominous?

It's really bad in that faucet. But only that faucet.

Is there an aerator on that faucet?

Thanks for your help.

No, I don't think there is. That would be in the faucet head, right?
I took that out to clean it and it wasn't really dirty anyway. So I
left it off.

Another thing that is odd is that the "power nozzle" that is that
little gun like thing off to the side that you lift up off of the sink
(it has it's own 'extension cord' type of thing) to do whatever
with....well that thing has no power whatsoever....the water used to
kind of drizzle out of it, now it is almost completely blocked. Just a
drip.
