I've got a sink that is only like a year old and over time the flow from that faucet has just gone almost to nothing. The faucet before it suffered from the same fate. I'm not sure what a) is causing this problem b) how to fix it. Is there something I can do to fix this faucet or do I need to purchase a new one.

Thanks for any help.

 
There should be an aerator under the faucet spout. Its a screen. Unscrew it counterclockwise and clean it
out. Run the faucet with it out and see if there is a differnce.
 
@TomFOhio this faucet has a thin rectangular opening and no aerator accessible as far as I can tell. I know that for regular sinks you can use a faucet key and unscrew it but not this one.
 
Take your supply lines off at the faucet underneath. Turn one valve on at a time and run it into a bucket. Make
sure you have good pressure at each line. If you do its in the faucet. Process of elimination
