I have an American Standard kitchen faucet model 4251 with two handles and a sprayer attachment. The pressure coming out of the spout is getting very low for either hot or cold water, but the pressure coming out of the sprayer is still strong. It sounds like a problem with the diverter. Can the diverter be taken out and cleaned, replaced or is it something else?

I should have mentioned tha I already checked the aerator and it was clean. I ran the water without the aerator attached to make sure and pressure was low. Since submitting the question, I took out the diverter which was very easy - just unscrew the base of the spout, pull out spout and unscrew the aerator. I flushed the areator and also sent a narrow screwdriver down the center shaft to clear any debris. After reassembling the pressure was better, but still no great winner. If I left out the diverter, the pressure was really good. The only difference would be in using the sprayer. With the sprayer on, the water still comes out of the faucet because there is no diverter to direct one way or the other. The diverter is too restrictive in water flow to the faucet spout, but does allow good pressure to the sprayer, which is used only rarely.
