Hi all,

Any advice on where to trouble shoot?

I have this faucet. It has been loosing pressure for a while. At first, I detached the head unit (not sure what it's called) and clean the parts/screen, etc. They weren't even dirty as I didn't see any sediment. That really didn't help. Should I look at replacing the valve?

Thanks!
 
If it is the same flow whether cold or hot or bot are used it is usually the aerator. Replace with new. If that doesn't fix there could be a blockage internally. If there is a spray hose, where the hose connects there are check valves that can get clogged.

Thank you.

Just to clarify, is #1 or #2 the aerator?

Just to be efficient, is this the connection point? What would be replaced?
