1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

It sounds like you have some parts missing or the knobs aren't connected to the ceramic cartridge. FULL make and model helps in Fixya questions.

kohler bancroft is the sink manufacturer, not the faucet mfgr. do you have a clue what faucet mfgr it might be?

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.

Check the aerator, or replace it could be plugged

I had the same issue with an American Standard faucet that I installed new 6 months ago. The diverter can be the issue if you have a sprayer attachment. Try unscrewing the sprayer head from the hose it's attached to. Now run the water full pressure with the hose pointed into the sink, obviously :~). After running the water for about 1 minute, connect the sprayer head back onto the hose, make certain the flat rubber washer and ring gaskets are seated in their grooves properly, and tighten until you have no water leaking from the sprayer head/hose connection. Now try the water through the faucet. If the problem was a temporary diverter issue, your pressure should be fine now. Good luck

i assume you are talking abou tthe screen on the faucet where the water comes out. that cap (usually) simply unscrews. it can get stuck over time when that happens i put a wash cloth around it then use pliers to loosen it once the cap is off the screen is usually inside the cap. along with a plastic aireator.. hope that helps

If its discharging all the time, I would say its sucking up contaminated water but if only occasionally, that would suggest something is rusting / deteriorating in the system and it "grows" when the pump is not in use. I would have a close look at the source tank(s), the connecting pipework and as a last resort, disconnect the pump and have a look inside the pump chamber.

Easy, just unscrew it. https://www.google.com/search?q=replace+the+spray+head+for+my+kitchen+faucet ..

Like the other answers said, it depends on how bad the damage is, the difficulty level in fixing it, and whether or not there's an expensive part to be replaced. For instance, it's far cheaper to fix a leaky faucet than a water heater problem. When looking for contractors, you might want to check their licenses, experience, and reviews. Even if your budget might be tight, it's best not to book the first one you've encountered just because they're cheap. At the same time, you might want to ensure that their cost is reasonable for the services to be rendered and any parts that should be replaced.

Almost certainly the hose. They leak from the bottom, cartridges drip from the top. That unit is discontinued. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/13802/Hans-Grohe-35807801.html https://www.google.com/search?q=Hans+Grohe+35807801+kitchen+faucet+parts ..

The hose probably has a small split in it, or is is one of the O-ring seals. https://www.google.com/search?q=Blanco+culina+mini+tap+replace+hose https://blancotapspares.co.uk/blanco-culina-s-mini-chrome.html But it comes in two types and they are slightly different.

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

If it is a press and lock style, some of them can be pulled out and adjusted to make for more clearance so the locking mechanism has room to work. If it's the style that uses a pull rod from behind the spout, then the circular nut that holds the pop-up rod into the drain directly under the sink. If that's loose, then it won't allow the pop up to stay in place. Hope this helps

It sounds like the float is stuck. Try pulling the wires coming out of the tank(shake them a little) and see if that will free the float and shut the pump off

you can try to tap handle loose and pull up on it to remove crew. Personally I would change faucet and supply lines, and not not look back.

Yes you need to replace as a complete Cartridge Repair Kit. Once they wear, you can't fiddle with them and make them better.
