Does it have any sediment filter? The faucet is loosing water pressure from low quality water from city. Is there any place I should clean up?

Yes, indeed. Pull the faucet head down and out of the housing. Unscrew the head and you'll see a tiny screen wire that catches particles. Clean it off gently and you'll get your water flow back. If you are using an aerator, as I do, you also have to use the Grohe special tool, unscrew the bottom of the faucet head, pull out the aerator and clean off the sediment. Hope that helps.

There is a screen at the nozzle. Unscrew the nozzle and take it apart and clean all the pieces.

I'm not sure what you mean by clean it. After almost a year of use, it has never had a reduced water flow, which would be the only reason that I would know of for cleaning. I also have very hard water, but no buildup that reduces water either. I would imagine you can replace the strainer, or clean it if needed, but haven't had to do anything at this time. I realize this doesn't answer you, but it all I can tell you at this time.

My water pressure is always very low with this filter, and mine also keeps resetting the "gallons filtered" counter. You might want to check with the manufacturer. I've noticed that the filter needs to be flushed out when not used often.

Suggest you install a manual clean out above the intake diverter. Look for the SlimLine downspout filter by Aquabarrel

Depending on the installation, there is a filter between the tank and the water supply. The instructions note that you should check this filter if you have diminished flow.

it doesn't seem to reduce pressure.... and yes you still have water during the backwash. I assume its not filtered. I have a dual tank softner that delivers filter water during backwash process

Hard water sediment I suspect...calcium and magnesium carbonate. If you had a water softener, I suspect the problem would disappear. Carbon polished water like Brita filters can minimize but don't eliminate the problem. Whether it's a coffee maker, tea kettle or hot water pot, cleaning the sediment, periodically, is normal and the frequency is based on how much dissolved minerals in the local water. It's not a health hazard and if you look at most multi-vitamins, guess what's inside? Calcium and magnesium. :)

The screan is clogged on the end if the faucet. Also known as the airrater. Should be able to in screw and clean out. Pressure will be back to nornsl

Not sure because I did not have this problem with mine. However, you may take off the filter part at the faucet head to see if there is debris blocking the running of the water and making the whirring sound. Usually new faucet needs to be cleaned to get rid of those debris before installation. Good lick!

I want to say "NO" but it really could be my water supply. The faucet still works, and I love how it looks, but I will be replacing it soon because the buttons to change the water stream no longer work. That in itself is frustrating, we live in the city, have city water and a whole house filter but no water softener. If I had it to do over I would've went with something better.

I don't know how you filter is set up but i had that problem when my waste valve was open----flushing to the sewer. If you close it half or three quarters of the way it's just fine

We have good tap water here in Illinois, and I've had the same filter on for over a year. Water pressure seems the same, so I'm guessing no water jets are clogged. If you're concerned about mineral buildup, chlorine, or anything else, then I would change it. I suggest extending the spray wand, like instructed in your owners manual for cleaning, and inspecting the holes for any mineral buildup. Hope this helps.

There is a cartridge filter that you take out and use a hose to clean it. The filter works great and well worth the cost.

You must turn off water supply to the filter then open the filter faucet to release pressure. Then you unscrew the filter case and remove the ceramic filter, clean it, then replace, tighten the case and turn on the water. Check for leaks, tighten more if any leak. How often you clean it depends on the water cleanliness going in. Suggest opening the filter case now and looking. If it looks dirty clean it. Then check it after a month and if it looks clean wait a couple of months next time. I have heard of them going a year without needing cleaning. Another tip you need to clean is if the water output slows way down. You must turn off water supply to the filter then open the filter faucet to release pressure.

there is no sediment. I'm not sure why it should be there if it is filtered.

Sorry, I can't help you. We have had no issues with the faucet or water pressure.
