Kitchen Sink Water Pressure
 
Got a contemporary goose-neck kitchen sink faucet where the water exits
the spout about 18 inches above the sink bottom.

When rinsing crud from dishes, I want maximum water pressure to dislodge it.

So is the pressure greater right at the spout- or down at the sink
bottom where gravity worked on it for a foot and a half?

Never thought much about it in the kitchen but have used a pressure
washer. Pressure drops considerably with distance,

My faucet is similar and you can have the aerator or spray and the spray
is much better. It has a pull-down tip so you can get close and not
splatter.

Sink bottom.


But marginally. The faucet outlet may have a restrictor in it to "save
water" by reducing the flow. Mine does.

The libtard democrats legislated mandatory flow restrictors in faucets.Â* You'll need to remove them to get decent flow/pressure.

Â* So it takes a few seconds more to fill a pan with water . I have no
problem with restricted flow most of the time . Our sink has a sprayer
on a hose that is NOT restricted , does a fine job of removing debris .

The problem with the sprayers is that water blowing back winds up all
over the place. I'd rather have a wider, gentler spray that can rinse
things off, without water flying everywhere.
