We have changed out filters on a pretty consistent basis over the years, and recently put in a new one once this issue developed. Basically, if not used for a 10 minutes or more, the water will flow normally for a few seconds, and then it will drop to a slow stream. A new filter didn't really help at all - what parts should I change out? thanks!

Part# 67005154 Replacing the valve didn't work - the same issue. So, I've changed the water filter, and the valve. What is the next thing it could be? thanks!

Full power for a few seconds, then back to slow, weak flow. It seems that the problem has to be something to do with the water filter area, everything else has been checked. (I did buy a new filter, that didn't fix it either)
