7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Low water flow | Partially closed supply valves; clogged aerator/spray nozzles; debris in water lines. | Ensure supply valves are fully open. Clean spray head nozzles (SpeedClean). Flush water lines. |
| Leaks at connections | Loose connections; damaged seals. | Tighten connections. Inspect and replace seals if damaged. |
| Spray head does not retract fully | Counterweight improperly positioned; hose obstructed. | Adjust counterweight position. Check for obstructions under the sink that might impede hose movement. |
