Sometimes your faucet is not running the way it used to. The first thing you want to check is the valve under the sink and make sure that the faucet is on, you know, the supply valve. A lot of times people have done some repairs and they didn’t turn it on fully.
So that’s the first thing you want to check, and if it’s on fully and it’s still running slowly, the most likely culprit is build-up of calcium and deposits inside the screen on the end of the faucet. Now, I’ve already loosened that. You may end up needing to use a pair of pliers, but always protect your hardware with a cloth, you know, wrap cloth around it and take it off with pliers. And what you’ll end up finding a lot of times is buildup of minerals and things like that which may just come out just by scraping, or you may want to soak it in a calcium remover overnight. But that should take care of your problem.
