Ii have a kichen faucet Grohe Alira - after about 2 years the water flow started getting less and less and now there is almost no pressure. I cleaned out the filter at the end, but it did not help.
I removed all the parts at the end of faucet and cleaned them. I don't thing there is a canister filter - both hot and cold water connect directly into faucetI removed all the parts at the end of faucet and cleaned them.

Sounds like the cartridge needs to be cleaned or replaced. May be clogged or faulty. This requires turning off water under the sink and pretty much taking the faucet apart.

I have the same problem and have the fix. There is a water pressure regulator on the bottom of the faucet( under the sink) this part is bad. Grohe will replace it for free. Call Grohe at630=582=7722 tell them the model # of the faucet and the color of the regulator, they will send you a new one for FREE.
If it is just this faucet and no others then it is likely the filter screen in the tap head is clogged.
Remove the cover from under the tap head. Pries off from the tap head directly where the water comes out.
There is a metal mesh screen there. It will be full of white chalky deposits from minerals in the water supply. Clear that out and you will be good to go.
You will also want to clear the holes for the spray pattern. The same deposits will be there.
Good luck.
If this helped give you some direction please rate the answer for me.
1. If by replacing the flexible hose you mean the hose for the pull-out portion - you have more than likely kinked or bent the supply line to the hot (left) side of the faucet.
a) If this supply is braided, then simply shutting of the water supply, removing the braided line and either replacing or attempting to straighten it out will be your best bet.
b) If the supply is copper, you will have to cut the line cleanly and carefully. you will then most likely need a 1/4" or 3/8" compression/quickconnect BY 1/2" IP fitting to complete your repair.
2. Other possibilities include:
a) Failure inside the faucet body which will most likely be warrantied by Grohe if you push them hard enough.
b) A problem at your hot water tank, most likely the outlet side and *perhaps* you hadn't noticed the problem elsewhere.
c) The hot valve failing to reopen fully despite all appearances; applies if you turned off the water under the sink for your repair.
