    I did not find the brand name(it was already here when we moved in) but it is a compression type.. I have not knowledge about plumbing so I will need for you to explain where I find the areator and the diverter in my faucet
    Thank you for your help

    The areatoir's that little thingy on the end of the spout,(see image). Unscrew the aerator and check and clean the screens. Be sure to put them back the same way they came out. If theat don't get it then click on bawck to check the diverter. Good luck, Tom
