So one of our faucets in our guest bathroom is completely stopped up. I took the hot water hose off and poured vinegar through it and still no worky. Is the faucet itself clogged with calcium deposits?
Also, what are the plastic hoses that connect to the faucet on each side?

My guess is it's the tubes inside of your hot water heater have decayed and that's the PVC type plastic that's going through your water system clogging up everything. Happened to me a few years back You made it a new hot water heater

Did you attempt to unscrew the screen cap from the business end of the faucet? Can't see from the angle of the picture, but I assume yours has one.

ETA- Birddog said it better

The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

Check the aerator, easy fix if that is it.

Is there water in the clear lines? It looks like you have water coming into the handle and the clear lines take it to the faucet.

If you have water to other fixtures in house then it is going to be your facet. As in previous post check the aerator if that does not work check each facet or buy a new fixture may be cheaper. I suspect you have calcium and other gunk in the facet due to lack of use.

Thanks for replies. I didn't realize the screen, which I thought could be the problem, on the faucet was called an aerator. It recessed so I wasn't sure how to clean it. Googled Delta faucets tonight and voila, there is a special tool to unscrew it. Will be heading to Lowe's to get one.
