I appreciate the video. I’m feeling the same way about my jacuzzi faucet. Hoping they are the same design

I am a Plumber and I can tell you this is a great video! Thanks

Exactly what i needed, thank you!

Thank you for the video. I plan to remove the restrictor. Good video of the 1/8 allen wrench.

I just moved and my faucet had the same problem, saw your video and worked, thanks man

Fixing to get almost identical Kohler faucets. Glad I saw this so I can pull that regulator when I install them since I have hard water in Florida as well. I'm guessing they sent you the valves because they couldn't fix your issue and wanted to help you so they sent new valves for when yours eventually go. Not a fix but at least they tried to satisfy you

I followed your directions, and I had earlier replaced aerators, and I made the mistake of turning the water on all the way. The Aerators shot out. I had to re-install the aerator and adjust the set screw so it would not come out and I adjusted the water pressure so flow was the way I wanted it

I am tree hugger. I conserve water--no lawn, native landscaping, low-water washer, etc. I'm in the top 10 percent in my neighborhood for saving water. No need to call us names. But I like gushing showers! Thanks for the tip about removing the flow restrictor. I'll decide where to save.

Thank you for saving me a couple dozen on a new faucet. Worked perfectly!

I was away for six months last winter. Upon my return, faucets in two bathrooms had only a trickle of water pressure. There is no aerator to remove. It’s a gooseneck faucet I have been washing my hands in the bathtub since I don’t know what to do. They were new faucets about four years ago. Ideas or suggestions? Thank you.

LIke so many of the comments below; I was minutes away from taking my faucet off and returning it. Then it hit me; there's gotta be a restrictor plate in there... was just in hopes I didn't have to completely tear the thing apart. Easy fix in the grand scheme of things. 2 Kohlers down 4 more to replace with new. Cheers!

I. Love. You. Thank you!

can anyone send a video of the allan wrench part? my faucet is up against the wall so that part if really difficult for me.

I wondered why the pressure was so restricted. Even Kohler didn't tell me the real reason, they rather send out new parts but as this video shows , the little white plastic restrictor is the part to be removed. Water pressure is fine now. 👌

If only I could find a way to remove the restrictor from my shower heads.... its in there pretty good and I already broke 3 of the tabs off trying to pull it out with needle nose pliers... government meddling nonsense....

May I suggest a clip showing the improved performance

This worked. The allen key was the tricky part of it. I was able to remove the knobs on my since it wasn't one solid piece, therefore I didn't have to turn off the water. I would imagine for one like this it's best to turn off the water valve because you need to have the knobs in the open position to make the allen key part alot easier. Thank you.

I have a Kohler single valve faucet with the same problem. I removed the restrictor, and it works very well now. Identical restrictor, but with a different procedure to access.

If you don’t those “conservers” that’s great. I think those regulators suck. Like you, I found it frustrating to wash hands and wash dishes. Yup, I removed the regulators and, like magic, the faucets are wonderfully flowing again. Government regulations do more mental harm than good.

I lived with awful water flow for years and didn’t realize how badly they we’re screwing me until I saw this.

You are a saint. Just installed a new Kohler faucet with the dribble. Volume flow was "you gotta be kidding me." I'll make the adjustment and look elsewhere next time.

Why did you spend so much time talking about the things that did not work??

I'm so glad I found this video before I changed the faucet..Your a lifesaver, the water flow is incredible now.

Having issues getting the Allen screw out

Fixed the water pressure for me but now there’s a whistling sound. Any idea what I might’ve done wrong?

Thank you for this video. I have the same faucet and issue. Your video helped tremendously. god bless.

Thank you! 2 plumbers out, haven’t fixed it, now I now why. I’ll try it myself.

Hope the ABC’s don’t come see you. Alcohol Tobacco and Faucets.

These are crap. Wish I hadn’t bought them.

Hey man I appreciate your video I have the same faucets same issue , finally some answers to that water flow I thought it was just me 😎 Thank you !!Thank you!! 💪🏾👍🏽 ✌🏽

Seriously considering a similar Kohler on a renovation install. Will most certainly remove the restrictor before installing. Thank you for the video.

Don't blame the tree huggers, blame big business. 80 % of water use west of the rockies? Farms, mostly industrial, much of which is alfalfa, used to feed cows or sold overseas. We're fed a narrative of individual water use restriction when our individual consumption is a tiny percentage of use. So people eat up the smoke and mirrors of you gotta cut your personal water usage and big business just keeps getting richer when they're using most of the water to make money. Tree huggers like water pressure too. I love burgers, nothing wrong with eating yummy dead cow. We need to stop sending our water overseas in the form of products making big business and stockholders rich.

Oh my goodness can this be this simple? When I got my main bathroom redone I purchased this faucet because it was cute. For the last 3 years I have been dealing with the twinkling of water. I had plumbers come in and they said everything was working fine. And I stumbled upon your wonderful video. So I'm going to try it tomorrow please wish me luck. Cuz if that pink peace has been down there for over 3 years it may not want to come out. I pray that it does.

This worked! Some time ago I bought one of these faucets for a guest bathroom, not realizing it was purpose-built to be a "water saver" fixture. Immediately I was unhappy with the puny flow. I was all set yesterday to say "to Hell with it" and buy a replacement faucet. It occurred to me though that I might have the same issue with the replacement unit, so I decided to do a little homework first. I found and followed your video, and Voila! Problem solved. Thank you for doing the grunt work and sharing this with us!

I'll NEVER buy a non screw off aerating faucet again!! That and the damn kitchen built in sprayer faucets SUCK... Life is short , faucet cleaning should be SHORTER

Thanks to your video I was able to fix the very low water pressure! Thank you

Awful video

I just installed this faucet NEW and was shocked at how low the flow was. I followed these steps and pulled the flow restriction out to find that I personally think it had too much flow. SO, I drilled a 7/64 hole dead center in the restriction and it’s perfect! Just my two cents. Thank you for making this video! Super helpful.

I’m voting for you for president!

Without the "Treehugger comments," your suggestion makes sense. Now, cover the splash up from the water flow onto the vanity top.

I call bs. You're not carrying all that day in day out appendix.

I'm a fairly recent Bradenton transplant Black chunks come out of my little toilet holes. What the heck is with the water here?

Great and useful video… I was sharing your frustration… I took that little monster off!!! 👍 Thank you!!!

Thanks, I’ve had same problem. Now I can fix it.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Falco makes beautiful leather holsters too. I have one of them for my S&W revolver.

Excellent, I just put a scrim shaw through the little pink piece and threw it away. It is definitely the problem. Works so much better now. Thank you!

CALIFORNIA - Favor water conservation BUT also want to fill a pint glass or pot of water fast, even washing my hands is difficult with the Kohler water restrictor. I just installed a Kohler (myself!) and it almost dribbles. Thanks I'll find the 1/8 allen wrench and fix this aggro problem.

Thx!!! I now have water pressure! 👍 I love the faucet, but started to have problems. Was at the point where I was going to call Kohler. Then I decided to check uTube, and waaala I found your video! Fixed it myself. My fingers a little sore working the allen wrench, but it was worth it! You gave me great tips, for I’m not a plumber either! 😎

Hi! Two questions. Do you know the model/make of this thing? Second, were you able get the aerator out? I have pliers small enough to get in there but can't get it out.
