    All of a sudden for no apparent reason there is almost no water pressure coming out of the hot and cold water faucets in the sink.The toilet works normal and the water pressure in the shower is just fine.No leak underneath the counter either.

    How cold and windy is it there? Cold be a frozen pipe. Check all pipes for freeze and we can narrow it down If you think a pipe if partially frozen use a hair dryer to thaw and warm up area on or by pipes.

    Remove the aerator, (see image)and check and clean the screens. Try it with the aerator off. Do you have water now? If not click on back whit information about the faucet. Good luck , Tom

    Yes, cleaning the aearator helped a lot.It is a one piece faucet so I could not take the aerator off but touched and messed with it and the water pressure started to come out much better. Thank you so very much for your advice.The Pothead.
