    Phitchic - WE don't have enough infiormation on the faucet, WHAT KIND IS IT AND Model< IS IT 2 handle or a single handle , has it been worked on or changed lately- is it a new faucet?? GIVE us the answer then we can most likely help you , it may only have some junk in the faucet where the water comes in the faucet . Waiting for your answers to the questions Have a good day and GOD BLESS ::F.B.E.

    Unscrew and clean your aerator. Aerator is the removable filter / screen on tip of your faucet... See if that helps...
