: : 1) On my kitchen faucet (Moen single lever) when you first pull up the
: : lever the water comes out real slow (hot or cold) then after about a minute
: : the pressure gradually increases until there is full water pressure after
: : about 1 1/2 minutes. I have cleaned the aeroator at the end of the spout
: : and I have replaced the Moen cartridge.
: : 2) The water from our master bath tub has some kind of sediment or rust
: : in it. Where is this coming from and how do I get rid of it? Also, it has
: : been raining a lot in our area lately. I use the city water connection (not
: : my own well).
: : I would very much appreciate any answers that you can give on these
: : questions. Thank you.
: It Sound like your kitchen faucet has a spray. Turn the faucet on and try the spray if this helps change the diverter. (FYI)Moen customer service 1-800-233-6636. As for tub,flush out your hot water heater. GOOD LUCK
Thanks for your help. Moen is sending me a new diverter. I am going to flush out our
hotwater heater this weekend. Much appreciated!
