A kink or sharp bend in the line?
Is the vinyl tubing coated with brown deposits on the inside? This could have flaked
off and is plugging up the faucet.
Actually the pump is pretty strong. If working correctly, the stream coming out into
the sink will splash all over, a common complaint from people trying to wash their
hands, and why some have converted to a different faucet.
I once left a paper towel in the tank by accident, and later filled the tank. When I
went to use it, the flow was seriously restricted. Finally opened the tank and found
the now almost-dissolved towel. Drained and flushed the tank and re-filled, but there
was still debris from the towel in the pump, line and faucet. A lot of off-on cycles
and then let it run, finally flushed it all through.
