What if you don't want the water to come out the faucet when you flush, for whatever reason - is there a way to turn it off and on?

No, there is no way to prevent the faucet from flowing if you flush. At first it feels counter intuitive that it flows even if you're not going to use it. But after a few times you just get used to hearing the faucet every time after a flush. Also, if you aren't going to use the faucet, just don't flush. No harm in letting it mellow.

No. Why have a sink if you dont want water to come out of it. However, the water comes from the overflow gizmo, if you do not hook it up to the spout then no water will come out at all. It can't be turned on an off like a regular sink. For what its worth, it doesn't use any less water hooked upor not.

No way to turn off but there is no reason for. The water on the faucet is the water that fill the reservoir and you always want fill it after flush

I have two different versions of this model and I'm very happy with them. If you just flush it might not release a full force of water. If you hold the hand down, however, it seems to provide much more force of water. Try holding it down. You could also call American Standard and talk to them for some advice.

No. They will automatically turn on once the water comes out, but you cant turn it off.

Just like M. Carr answered, it defaults back to stream when turned off and back on, in fact that's the only way you can get out of spray mode. Other than that, we love our Hansgrohe faucet. Had it for about 3 years now.Terry

I'm guessing when you turn the water on. Mine didn't fit any faucets so I couldn't use it.

The water must be let out of the hose. So. turn off the faucet and open the sprayer and any other valve on the end, allowing the water to drain out.

Nope. I believe you would have to turn the water off and then on again. I can't recall b/c I haven't used it in a long time -- it stopped working a few months in, and there are no returns!

it will turn off automatically when the faucet is closed and it gets up to pressure.

Make sure you turn the water off. If you don't you will have a mess to clean up.

No. When water is turned on only the irrigator is on. Fortunately, I have two sinks in my bathroom so I am able to leave the irrigator attached. It would be great if there was a valve which would divert water flow.

Make certain it sits on a level surface so the water can flow into the unit. If it is not level, it will turn off as if the tank is empty.

One setting is for 'pause' and is explained in the instructions. The showerhead will only dribble out at this setting, and not shut off. Apparently this is required by plumbing codes that only the main faucet handle should totally shut off water flow.

I wish I knew, it is aggravating. The minute I start to use the faucet, it starts running. If you find a cure please post it.. Thanks

I've had mine since August 2012 and have had no problems whatsoever. I assume you mean the control section that sticks out to the side. Was it damaged in any way during install or use? On mine, I had to connect the water line before mounting it to the toilet as it would have been in the way. If by any chance you are referring to the water shut off valve coming out of your wall, I've learned to NEVER try to turn them off. They are usually badly corroded internally and start leaking (or worse, the handle comes off in your hand) after you turn the handle. I found that out when I replaced some sink faucets. Instead, use the street valve to shut off all water to the house and save yourself an emergency trip to Home Depot for a replacement valve, if it's not past closing time and you now have no running water until you can get to them when they open the next day.

There are two controls. One is the selector to switch between water coming out of the head, the handle, or both. On the handle there is another control that switches between jets, which includes: outside, inside, both, and none. So you could set the water to handle only, and then select "no jets", and it will effectively shut the water off. It doesn't do a perfect job, and some water will trickle out. I do this when washing the dog, though, and it's good enough.
