I recently replaced our kitchen sink and faucet. The faucet is a
Kohler Coralais single faucet with a pull out sprayer Model K059149
GR. The wife picked it because it was white to match the new sink.
However the force or the flow rate out of the faucet is not as strong
as I think it should be. Believe it is correctly installed. The valves
under the sink are fully on. The aeriator filter is not clogged so I
am at a loss as to why. Any one have a similar problem with a Kohler
faucet or have any suggestions?

TIA
email response not expected but to respond remove .uk at end

It probably has an eco-water restricter...It is a disk with a pin hole
through it inside the faucet to restrict water flow...They don't trust
you to turn the water on only as fast as you need it...If you can take
it apart you could probably remove it ..Then again if you are in an
area with water shortages you may want to leave it....Here in Maine
where water is more than abundant they are foolishness...LOL....

LOL,
Whether there is lots of water or not, we all have to conserve.


Where the hell do you think the water goes after it comes out of my well
and it goes down the drain into the septic tank and out through the leach
field ?? BACK INTO THE GROUND....LOL....We have so much water here
springs bubble out of the ground EVERYWHERE not to mention the thousands
of lakes , ponds , streams and rivers..Ever hear of Poland Springs
bottled water ?? It is in Poland Springs , Maine...We EXPORT
water...LOL....What may make sense in Arizona or California is
foolishness here.....


Hi,
Not me. The place my cabin is located is called 7 springs. History says it
never suffered from draught. My well is Arteisan and lots and lots of
water. I don't have septic field(illegal here) I have 2K gallon holding
tank I vacuum out once a year at a cost of 180.00. Been to Africa? Some
places there folks use a bucket of water a day for the whole family. Not
even clean water like we drink. Still we have to conserve all the
resources whether we have much or not. Just my own personal
opinion. Our bottled water comes from Rockies glacier. I don't drink that,
I drink multi stage filtered RO water. It uses so much energy to bottle
water.


How is conserving water in Maine (a state awash in water) going to help
people in Africa ??? That's makes about as much sense as your mom telling
you to clean your plate off cause kids are starving in Africa...Gotta
another news flash for you...All the water we use ends up back in the ground
eventually..What we drink goes in one end and out another.What we retain
will end up in the ground when we get put in the ground as well...It doesn't
go anywhere...Well except for the water we send up to the space
station...LOL..The rest of it stays right here on Earth..It is the ultimate
recycling program....
