One thing you could try is to remove the aerator at the end of the spout on the faucet, Turn water on and see if pressure is any better. If so the aerator is got something in it restricting the flow.
You also can remove the dime shaped flat in the aerator to increase water flow. It looks like a dime with a hole about 1/8" in center to restrict the flow to about 1.6 gpm. Remove it and reinstall aerator and check water flow

Most of the times when cold and hot side of faucet.It would be the first thin to check being you have good water pressure at other faucets. They catch debris and the flow slows down from the faucet's. Check out supply lines and faucet for a blockage if this doesn't take care of the problem.

Check out this web sire for a parts breakdown of parts in faucet. Check out installation and rough in sheet for information on faucet below.

Sounds like you have a low water pressure problem. Have the city come out to do a water pressure test, should be around 80 psi for good flow to all fixtures.

Water pressure is low in bath and kitchen

Check the aerators for debris. Aerators are located at the end of the spout where the water comes out. Usually these unscrew counterclockwise (some models require a tool). Rinse out and reinstall. They may be just a lower flow model.

Installed Delta 16955-SSSD Stainless Steel Victorian Single Handle Kitchen 16955-SSSD a couple months ago. About a couple weeks ago experienced low flow for about 4 hours then started working fine. Now...

Remove spay head from the end of the sprayer hose and turn the water on. If you have good pressure without the head, call Delta and ask for a new spray head. If you still have low water pressure without the spray head attached, call Delta and ask for a new ceramic disc cartridge free.

Shower/Tub Diverter Value Low Water Pressure

I had the same problem. I discovered that an O ring was missing (or I lost it without noticing) from a new diverter that I installed. Just got an O ring that fits on the threaded part of the collar where it meets the pipe. Worked fine. Amazing how a little plastic piece could make such a difference.
