    New moen pull out kitchen faucet has low flow slo
    We have a new Moen pull-out kitchen faucet. The water saver feature really just means it takes more time to do anything. Is there a way to disable it? Since it is the pull-out sprayer, its not obvious where to find the restrictor.

    I realize this is a "code" feature, but I find it very annoying.

    Thanks!

    You should first check your water pressure, what the faucet's flow rating is and how many gallons per minute you are getting. This could be a clog from debris during installation

    Nope, it is supplying the specified 1.5 gpm

    So, anyone know a way around the water-saver feature?

    Sure do! Remove the aerator, (see image) and pop[ out the water saver, Good luck, Tom

    Mine is a sprayer and faucet in one, more complicated than a simple aerator. That said, I will look to see if I can get to it.

    I suspect the restriction is somewhere other than right at the head, since it restricts both the spray and the regular flow
