Default Stupid Kalifornia Low-Flow Kitchen Faucets

California laws are screwing up the country. YOu might try unscrewing
the aireator at the end of the faucet and seeing if there is anything
there to restrict the flow.


In the early days of low flow faucets, the fixture manufacturers put a flow
restrictor disc in the shower head or fixture connector that was easy to remove.
Nowdays, most of the fixtures are designed end to end to limit the amount of
water that will pass. For a while it was possible to order high flow fixtures
from Canada, but I haven't checked lately to see if that was still possible.

It still annoys me to see these massive shower heads in the fixture aisle
knowing that they don't provide any decent water flow.
