Default Slow running faucet

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?

I thought the same thing when I installed a Kohler with a pullout
sprayer in the spigot. The water just didn't have the force it used to
with a standard one-piece spigot. Does your pullout have settings for a
single stream and a shower spray? The mechanism in the pullout head
that lets you choose these settings naturally limits the amount of
water pressure.

In the few years we've had it, we've become accustomed to not being
able to spray water clear across the kitchen. It's just one of those
things you have to adjust for.

OTOH, if you're only getting a trickle, something is definitely wrong.
