Default Stupid Kalifornia Low-Flow Kitchen Faucets

Finally replaced our ancient wall-mounted kitchen faucet with a nice
shiny new Peerless from Amazon. The problem is that due to
Kalifornia's water-saving requirements it takes half a minute to fill
the coffeepot and several minutes to fill the sink to wash dishes. WHO
KNEW?



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.

I have spilled more gas trying to fill the small engines with the new
tanks than I ever did before.
Started ordering some 'water tank replacement spouts' from ebay to put
on my tanks.



That would be the first thing to try. It might be as simple as a washer
put in to restrict flow or in the aerator itself. Hard to believe
manufacturer would re-engineer the faucet just for California.
