Hello - I have a kitchen faucet sprayer which is not working at all. I've taken it apart piece by piece and still can't find the issue. I'm guessing it might be the diverter but I'm not able to find that piece. I'll add some pictured below of the faucet, sprayer, under the sink view of the hose to the sprayer and the faucet cartridge (which I just replaced to see if that was the issue). I am not able to identify the brand or maker of the faucet and have searched for a couple house on google for something similar and can't find it. The thing is heavy though - weighs a good 10-15 pounds.
Here is what I've done to trouble shoot the issue.
1) Removed the sprayer line and sprayer head to make sure there is no issue there. I'm not getting water through the unit (it used to get very low pressure - now it's getting none).
2) I removed the 90 degree link between the stem dropping from the faucet which connects the faucet stem to the sprayer hose. This item is not a clear pass through and has a restrictor in there but seems to be functioning properly (meaning when I blow air through it it opens). This may be the issue but I couldn't find this part anywhere.
3) I removed the old faucet cartridge and replaced it with a new one (the pictures attached are the old cartridge and the part for the new one I purchase - they're identical).
4) I've seen that the diverter can be an issue but I cannot locate where it is or if there is one on the faucet. Under the faucet the hot and cold braided lines drop down and then there is about a 6 inch stem which drops down for the sprayer - it's difficult to see where these three attach to the faucet as they're receded up into the faucet itself.
