    Constant pressure kitchen sprayer
    I'm looking for a sprayer(such as a kitchen sink sprayer) to connect to a Reverse Osmosis filter to rinse my hair, (we have a salty well) I have a variable speed aux. pump installed to supply this sprayer and my ice maker. I'm having a hard time coming up with a sprayer that will take continuous pressure. Any Ideas?

    Hair Sprayer
    Any Home Depot or most hardware stores will carry replacement sprayers for a kitchen sink. The sprayer hose terminates in a 1/8" male thread so you may have to adapt to your aux. pump. To tell you more or give you tips on how to connect I'll need to know the fitting your pump has for you to connect to. Regards, Tom

    Sprayer
    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately all the kitchen sprayers I've found will leak under constant pressure over the long term. They are only designed to handle pressure when the sink faucet is on, when the pressure is reduced due to the diversion through the faucet. When the faucet is off, no pressure to the sprayer.

    Sprayer
    I doubt if this will please the lady of the house. Did you find something else that did cost an arm and a leg? Not that money is no problem, it's just that we spent a fair amount on bath fixtures (Grohe) and need to somewhat tie in with that.

    Sprayer
    Have you considered adding a inline shut off valve between the hose and sprayer unit or coming out of your R O filter unit? You could shut off that pressure on the sprayer unit after using and have it at your fingertips when you wish to activate it.
    Brasscraft makes several 1/8" inline valves for under 10$. They come in three flavors. Female threads-FF200-2 Male threads- V401-2 or the one I think would work for you, Male to female threads-V402-2.
    Now you can install the sprayer of your choice without any pressure worries. Good luck and let me know what you decide. Tom
