Finally replaced our ancient wall-mounted kitchen faucet with a nice

KNEW?
Local plumbing supply place said there was nothing to be done. I
suppose I could return it and get an out-of-state friend to order a
NORMAL one and then send it to us, but that's laying the problem on an
innocent bystander.
So does anyone know how to tweak a low-flow faucet to make it
REASONABLE? The plumbing guy might be worrying about legal difficulties...
I can understand doing this to shower heads, but NOBODY just stands
there and watches a faucet run water down the drain. What were those
assholes thinking?

Did you consider that you might rather place an Amazon order
for the proper faucet ... ? Rather than blame the state government
for your stupidity ?

Thanks for your help, John, it's much appreciated. I myself have
offered similar assistance to others, with equivalent gratitude.

I suspect Amazon will only ship California compliant faucets to
California. I once bought a transformer type toy from Amazon for a
friend in the UK's son because they would not ship it too the UK.

I corresponded with Peerless customer support for a while. He seemed to
think that if I ordered from Texas I would get a different faucet, but
wouldn't tell me the stock number. If this is a national requirement,
the ******* was clearly lying to me.

I recall years ago people buying toilets in Canada when only low flow
became available here.

Dave Barry had a thing about a gang of vicious Canadian toilet smugglers.
