    Yep, sure sounds like it may be a plugged aerator. It is located at the end of the spout, it simply unthreads. Let us know what you find.

    I agree with Mygirlsdad and Creahands plugged aerator could reduce the flow, remove the it and clean the screens see the image below, Thanks.

    I agree with these great answers and want to point out one common misconception, your pressure was likely fine all of the time. The volume was reduced to almost nothing by the clogged aerator so it appears to have no pressure but it real is the psi. P.S nice pic John
