during all the flushing I remember (by getting sprayed) that the kitchen sink faucet had a problem.&#160; The pull out head would pop off the hose and&#160; poof you could get wet.&#160; By accident we found a replacement of the same type and size at Lowes so I picked that up and proceeded to replace the faucet.&#160; that is not an easy place to get into\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><a
