Should my kitchen sink have an under counter outlet?

Most new installations in new homes will have this feature. It is for a "garburator" which is connected to the kitchen sink outlet. There is usually a switch mounted on the wall near the sink for switching it on and off. The switch is usually mounted in a two gang junction box. The other device in the junction box is an electrical receptacle.

How do you wire a compressor switch?

Take a wire from one of the line terminals L1 to one side of the contactor coil. Take another wire from the second line terminal L2 and put it to one side of a N.C. contact on the overload block. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the O/L block take a wire to the N.C. terminal on the pressure switch. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the pressure switch terminal connect the wire to the other side of the coil. This configuration will be using the same coil voltage on the contactor as that of the supply voltage.

The water valve under the sink is turned off or has gone bad. It is possible that there is a blockage in the faucet itself. I'd start by ensuring that the water valve is turned off, and take the faucet apart and look for anything out of the ordinary.


Why does turning on one faucet cause significant pressure loss in every other faucet in the house?

Turning on one faucet will cause a pressure drop at any other faucet that is running, but you say it is a "significant" drop - that implies that you have low water pressure, period. You might to consult with a plumber to see if anything can be done - if you live in a house with very old steel plumbing pipes, replacing them can make a noteworthy difference (it's not cheap, of course). Or possibly, you have an unusually low pressure system, perhaps a gravity feed system. Installing a water pump will solve any inconvenience, such as the shower almost quitting when a toilet is flushed elsewhere.

Kitchen faucet leaking - has lifetime warranty - how does it work?

A lifetime warranty only lasts for the life of the company that sold you the faucet and may not cover every component of the faucet.

(Some leaks, however, may be caused by things other than the faucet itself.)
