Hi! I don't have an aerator on the bathroom sink faucet. It's a 2 handle cold/hot type, and even with both fully open, the water barely runs anymore... Any ideas??
Most obliged,
Penny

I would turn off the supply valves disconnect the lines and see if you have pressure there. Although I'm inclined to believe the blockage is in the faucet itself since it's both hot and cold.

Also make sure they are open all the way.

Is the pressure low in other areas of the home?

It could be ferrous metal having the internal diameter reduced from mineral deposits or rust
