Happy 4th
i just read your post and remembered my faucet was beginning to run slow again. It was a simple fix.
I unscrewed the screen holder from the end of the pull out faucet which had caught about a dozen small plastic shavings. Like you had mentioned construction debris
if this is your first time taking apart your faucet. Make a little schetch of the parts when it comes apart. Good as brand new now
if you find that didn't solve the issue completely. You might have something plugging up the valve. I have a single handle faucet. I took mine apart last year because just cleaning the screen wasn't enough. Mine came apart from the top. There is a small hot and cold red and blue plug that pops out. I think there's an Allen screw behind that and I had a set of those cheap faucet wrenches which helped dismantle the valve. The valve is a lot more complex than the screen and requires a very good memory or a very good scketch. I cleaned everything and replaced the faucet grease that had caught some debris.
I'm hoping this might be the second and last time I have to clean the screen. It should be. It wasn't bad this time

I haven't hooked up yet, we'll see how it pulls with 17" wheels. (Pulls great !)

Howdy!
We had ongoing problems with low water pressure in the kitchen sink of our 2014 Cyclone 4000. Had it checked when under warranty and problem continued. I took it a part several times trying to fix it and finally gave up and installed a new one from Lowes. We now have had great water pressure over a year now and still going strong.
