    New faucet (sprayer) not compatible with portable dishwasher.
    I have a new faucet with a pull-out sprayer. Didn't even think about the fact that my portable dishwasher would not be compatible with the sprayer. What are my options for solving this problem? I've already installed the faucet.

    The aerator piece in the middle of your pull-out faucet can be removed and replaced with a $5 connector found at Home Depot or similar.

    Hi guys:

    Yeah, if you have the old dishwasher connector from the old faucet you can try to connect it into the new faucet... see if that works, but I doubt it 'cause these connections usually require that the dishwasher connection goes over and ABOVE the fitting/aerator. I still think you should try it though!

    Otherwise, you may need to get real creative and figure a way to extend the dishwasher aerator fitting so it sticks down farther away from the faucet. I'm sure it will not be easy, but I'm also sure it can be done... with some creativity... ;)

    Glad to discuss more...
