    Which faucet is it? What's the brand name. One handle or two knobs? Is it the hot side or both? Back to you. Tom

    Hi ALL! Missketcha... start by loosening the aerator on the end of the faucet spout. Here, you want to loosen the aerator by turning clockwise (may need pair of pliers and just bite down to get started.. ok?). Then clean the aerator of debris, sediment, etc. then run the water from hot and cold (without aerator in place) to clear lines of sediment. Then re-install. See if that does it.

    Aerator is on end of faucet and looks like this picture.

    Answer DonF and Speedball's questions, first. Then try this. Get back to us on how it went... the other guys will have more info. For you then. Good luck... MARK
