my cuzn uc-200 water flow is super slow, barely a trickle. help?

— asked by Sarah

Check three things, in this order.

  • First, ensure the cold water shutoff valve under your sink is fully open.
  • Second, run your hot and cold faucets and any side sprayers to clear airlocks in your plumbing.
  • Third, unscrew and clean the aerator screen on your faucet; sediment can clog it.

If flow is still low, sediment may be clogging the filter inlet. This is common if you have galvanized steel pipes or are in a high-sediment area like parts of NY or NJ. You'll need a sediment prefilter installed upstream.

Call APEC Water support at (800) 880-4808 before doing anything else. They can diagnose and send the right prefilter.
