I have a well. I have sufficient water pressure in the bathroom, but not the kitchen sink. The pipe from the well to the house is 1/2".I just had the gauge and the switch on the tank replaced. It is 50/30 psi, the water openers, hot/ and cold are turned wide open. underneath the sink. Why dont i have much water pressure in the kitchen? There is no build up. the water is clear when it comes out of the faucets. I also periodically burb the tank by draining out the water.

The first thought that comes to my mind would be the faucet itself. Sometimes older faucets will start to fall apart inside - so they still LOOK fine, but they are either not fully opening inside or else they have some sort of blockage (rust maybe, or a bad gasket).

If you can, disconnect the cold supply line from the faucet & turn the water back on while it's disconnected (Aim it into a bucket or hose leading outside). If you have good pressure there, then the problem is probably the faucet. If not, then there's a blockage or slow-down further up the line..

First of all you should unscrew though kitchens faucet, there may be some particals in that. Remove particals and screw the faucet. Let me know how it helped you?
