I replaced the aerator in my kitchen sink faucet and now the flow of the sprayer is restricted?

The new aerator is 1.5gal/minute. I have no idea what the old one was. When I remove it, flow at the sprayer is much greater. I don't understand how the aerator restricts flow to the sprayer. Is there any way to improve this? 1.5gal was the highest they had at the hardware store

There's probably a flow restrictor in the aerator. You might be able to remove it.

There is but it's at the tip of the faucet. I can't understand why that would restrict flow at the sprayer?
