Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Reduced Water Flow | Clogged aerator or supply lines. | Remove and clean the aerator. Check supply lines for kinks or obstructions. |
| Leaks from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nut or damaged O-rings. | Tighten the mounting nut underneath the sink. Inspect and replace O-rings if damaged. |
