Remove the aerator and tips of the aerator. After removing clean the holes of these parts. After that you may soak the parts in warm, white vinegar overnight to remove caked within aerator. After reassembling aerator,water pressure are still low, try visiting the manufacturer's website for a technical bulletin showing you an exploded view of the faucet and its parts.

There could be a number of issues here but the most likely issue is mineral build up. Check both the faucet and the values for the faucet for build up. You may be able to soak these in hot water and scrub the build up out with an old tooth brush or you may need to replace them.

You might have to flush the pipes out that might help. Or you might have to replace the faucet in the sink. Good luck to you on fixing the faucet.

Check first for a clog nozzle on the spout. CLR is a strong substance, but it clears a clog fast. You might even replace the spout.

low pressure maybe caused by a few things like distance of the sink from main and calcium build up in the pipe try turning your outside valve up a bit
