Fixing a faucet that spits, sputters, and sprays erratically usually requires clearing trapped air or cleaning mineral scale. If you recently turned off the main water supply, air is trapped in the pipes; simply let all household faucets run wide open for 60 seconds to bleed out the air. If the spitting persists during normal use, unscrew the spout aerator, soak it in white vinegar to remove calcium crust, and screw it back on. Verification: Turn on the faucet stream to confirm it flows smoothly without sputtering.
