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?

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....
Hi,
Fine and dandy. Ever heard "Think globally, act locally"? World wide we
don't have lot of fresh drinkable water. I just think you are being a
jack ass about issues mankind faces.
