Low water pressure in the galley, NOT the head

[RowGirl]

Hi everyone -
Still getting to know my new-to-me 31S. I've noticed my water pressure has decreased considerably in the galley, but is still roaring strong in the head / shower. Any thoughts to focus my troubleshooting?

thanks,
Jennifer

Lots of threads on this. Easy stuff first. Remove the hose from the bottom of the faucet head and turn the water on while pointing hose into sink. If you have good flow clean out the strainer that is inside where the hose screws into the head. There may be particles clogging the strainer. Also clear the strainer on the aerator. If your flow is bad out of the hose then remove the check valve. This is a bit more difficult. You have to remove the supply hose that goes from the valve body to the flex hose going to the faucet head. There is a small Phillips screw ( use stubby screwdriver) and loosen it. Do not remove it. Loosen it enough to slip the hose off. There is a small check valve inside the hose fitting. Pluck it out and throw it away. If that does not solve your problem, remove the Hot and cold supply lines at the water connections. There may be screens in there. Either clean them or remove them. You should be good after you have done the above in sequence.

Thanks knotflying. I did some searches and did not find anything quite like this. I'll try these out and see what I find.
