What is the nature of the problem which requires "work"

The flow is restricted, and the problem is not the aerator.


Restricted flow in the hot side might be chunks of dip tube from the water
heater.

A while back some water heater manufacturers used a plastic that would
degrade over time causing this very mischief.

You might also check the angle stop on the hot side if you find crud in the
valve.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.
