I have a pfister 536-e series Pfister/catalina colletion kitchen faucet. Low water pressure from both the hot and cold water. How do I fix the water pressure? Water pressure in the rest of the house is fine.

First unscrew areator from faucet spout, you might need pliers for this. Make sure the areator is clean, sometimes sedement from water lines can slow water down.

I also needed to remove the "hidden" flow restricters from my Price Pfister Parisa Kitchen Pull out faucet. The hot water side had never flowed the same as the cold side. Now both sides are flowing the same as should have been all along.
If you have full pressure on the cold water side and low pressure on the hot side then you well need to remove and clean or replace the cartridge for the hot side. If you have low water pressure on both sides try removing the aerator and cleaning it.
If you need to replace the cartridge on the hot side do both sides while you at it.
Whenever you work on any faucet before you turn the water on remove the aerator and run the water for a few seconds then replace the aerator.
Remove and clean the Price Pfister aerator. Turn the water on after you remove the aerator and check the flow-rate. Many new Lavatory and kitchen faucets are now equipped with Eco friendly water saver aerators. if the flow is normal without the aerator, the faucet is OK. if you want more water flow from your lavatory faucet, you will need to buy one of the old style high flow aerators from your hardware store. If you remove the aerator and still get low pressure from both hot and cold faucets, you may need to replace the faucet. Call the Price Pfister warranty phone number that came with your faucet.
I had the same problem. I simply removed the small brass fitting that the water supply screws onto.i removed the screen that is inside the brass fitting. Now the pressure is fine.
Three possible reasons for low pressure. 1. faucet cartridge has debris in valve body. 2. aerator has debris ,just unscrew and clean out. 3. Water valves under sink are not opened up. hope this helps
You more then likely replaced the diverter washer backwards. There is a washer/gasket that has multiple holes (2 or 3) and it is probably just rotated 180 clockwise (or counter).
There are very few moving parts in a faucet so this should fix it.
If you remove the supply line from the faucet and open the valve into a bucket, do you have adequate pressure? If you do, you will need to remove the hot water stem to see if something washed up into the faucet when you first turned the water on.
