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? -- €œYou cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb.€ - Andrew Carnegie |

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. |

The faucet outlet may have a restrictor in it to "save water" by reducing the flow. Mine does. -dan z- -- Protect your civil rights! Let the politicians know how you feel.

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

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 . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

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. |
