Water flow is low on WR Kitchen Faucet.
i'm guessing ...but... take it off ..take it to the outside faucet or water hose hold the hose end tight on the faucet outlet and turn it on to back flush it what went in should come out .. but have you checked the screen on the spicket (where the water comes out) that usually unscrews an you will see a screen inside there that can get clogged in addition to several plastic aerator bits that can get clogged and this is a LOT easier than removing the faucet and back flushing it ..

The clip on my push pull faucet is frozen and will not move up or down any idea how I can get it to move. Thanks
- Try applying a penetrating oil such as WD-40 to the clip and moving it back and forth to help loosen any rust or debris that may be causing it to stick.
- Use a pair of pliers or a small wrench to gently grip the clip and try to move it up and down. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you don't want to damage the faucet.
- If the clip is still stuck, you may need to remove the faucet handle and access the clip from the inside. Depending on the design of your faucet, this may require removing a setscrew or using a special tool to access the clip.

Sediment from bladder entered pipes, clogging some
Remove all the faucet aerators and flush the system for at least 2-3 minutes. Try not to turn the faucet valves off too hard until you flush the system so you don't embed grit into any faucet washers or washerless valves.
Clean the debris from all aerators. Flush all toilets at least 10 times and check for any debris in the toilet tanks. Clean out as needed.
If you have outdoor spigots, flush those as well.
You could consider adding an inlet strainer to your water supply piping, especially if you are on a well, private or public.

Can someone help a plumbing novice out please with my waterfall mixer taps grub grate key
99% of the time it's a small Allen. Sizes differ. It will be one the small to mid sized ones though. I put them on all the time. If its corroded just be patient and try all of them. Don't force anything, and make sure it's a snug fit in the screw. If you round it off by using a key that's too small you're going to have to cut it off. You got this

Reverse Osmosis air gap faucet leaking.
this is an easy fix and quite common. I found that removing the drain line where saddle is mounted and clean it from the inside.
A common leaking problem in most taps is the "air gap leak." It occurs when water leaks through the hole on an air gap faucet.
An air gap is a vital component of the reverse osmosis system. It prevents the back flow of water into the reverse osmosis unit. Instead, the air gap directs the excess water into the drain lines.
When a lot of debris accumulates in the drain line, it clogs up, creating back pressure that forces water to flow out through the air gap. Unfortunately, the back flow can flood your countertop.
To fix this problem, remove all the debris accumulated in your drain line to allow water to flow smoothly. You can use a wire brush or a pipe cleaner to clean out the drain line, starting from the end connected to the system's drain saddle.
You should also clean the system's drain saddle and ensure that it's properly aligned with the drain line. That's because the drain saddles can sometimes shift away from the drain lines.
To avoid air gap leaks completely, treat the drain line regularly using a natural cleaner that can dissolve the solids blocking it. Also, avoid flushing big chunks of food down the drain line.

My GE 153 will fill and drain but will not spin or agitat
The main motor is not running. I suspect water damage to the controller, probably corrosion on the motor wiring terminals. Also check the motor itself for signs of corrosion, especially at the terminals and the centrifugal switch housing at the end opposite the pulley..
