Just like the others, I removed the O ring, now it flows. Thanks for the tip!

Awesome video. My Delta two handle faucet kitchen sink had noticeable lowering pressure and wouldn’t shut off for 2 seconds after handles were closed. I removed the little black o-ring from the aerator like you showed and pressure is 100% and sink shuts off immediately. I have a bathroom Delta 2 handle faucet which has always had low pressure. I removed it’s black o-ring and now it has great pressure! Thank you for your video.

Same faucet, same problem. No junk in the aerator at all, but removed that little O ring and it's great again.

Interesting. I have a Delta faucet that I’m getting ready to work on. The fact that the O-ring affects it is similar to a Moen water saving shower head I used to have. It too had an O-ring that seems to have become stretched out over time. One question, what is your hot water temp set to? I wonder if very hot water can cause these small rings to become distorted.

That’s a good question. My temp is probably at about 120 degrees. It could be temp, or chemical(chlorine), or just low quality overseas products. Don’t really know which one.

The O-ring is the deal. This is so frustrating. I have been trying to figure out what was wrong with the flow in my bathroom for 5 years. And it's the stupid O-ring. I was able to get the cover off the aerator with a pocket knife, then dig out the O-ring with the same pocket knife. Now the flow is too much, but that flow can be moderated with the faucet handle, as it should be.
