I screwed it in, and it first it flowed great, but then slowed to a drip, I adjusted, Ok again, then loss of pressure again. ?????.

I've had no problems with mine. Sounds like mineral deposits or something is clogging yours. It is a small opening and would not take much to clog it. Maybe run the shower for a few minutes without the fixture on if you have not tried that.

How exasperating. Write the company ASAP and I am sure you will get a meaningful response. I had correspondence from the owner when I was buying my first batch.

Something is definitely wrong. Please send us a direct message so that we can look up your order and exchange the shower head with a replacement. David Malcolm

I had the same problem and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not but after I gave it a good cleaning it stopped. Now maybe you can tell me how to stop it from leaking? It constantly drips and if I don't forget to watch it I end up with water all over my counter.

It appears that there is a flow restrictor in the spray head at the point where it attaches to the hose. I experienced unacceptably low water flow immediately after installing this faucet, so I took another look and discovered the flow restrictor. I removed the O-Ring and the little plastic part with holes in it...then reinstalled the spray head. My water flow is now just right. I went from about .9 gallons per minute to about 1.33 gpms after removing these parts.

I have the same issue, if your real careful to not squeeze at all, it leaks less.

I wasn't able to make it slow down either. It went so fast that it unscrewed the cap. Lol.

I also found the extension lost nearly all its pressure and I hope Karcher will correct this problem. Otherwise I really like the pressure washer.

It happened with me also, I started watching for the pin to start drifting out of place and any time that I noticed it starting to happen I used a pliers to push it back into place. I suppose that if it gets worse you could use a drop of super glue to secure It in place.

It only leaked until I tightened the clamps, then it was fine. The only issue I had is that the heat when you first use it causes the output tubing to sag right where it joins the copper. I suppose I could run the cold water through faster, but I don't want it to spray all over, so I just support it with a little hook I made.

I have used mine a few times with no leaks even left it hooked up a few hours to test and it held set pressure. Maybe try new male connector on your hose and see if it helps

It does matter in a way! After 5 months I noticed a reduced output of water so I flipped it upside down after shaking it and the flow has now returned to normal so I feel I can extend its life a bit longer. I'll replace it in a couple more months I think.

I love the fixture, but our pressure decreased dramatically after I installed it as well. We've kinda gotten used to it, but it's not normal and I really wish I had more pressure at times, especially when filling large pots with water. I hope there is a way to adjust it. My pipes were clean and strong, and my hoses were brand new. It's the fixture.

Oh no! Mine just started leaking too and I'm not sure if it's too late to return it. Let me know what happens with yours. I really have enjoyed this dispenser until now.

I experienced a significant reduction in water pressure - enough that my sprinklers won't work properly with the device connected. I had to disconnect it. I keep looking for someone to manufacture a "full-flow" backflow valve that will not reduce water pressure, but I haven't found it yet...

Mine was doing this. After 5 or 6 attempts to clean etc, I unplugged, removed the water tank, took it outside, tipped it upside down and gave it a good shake. Turned it up again and water started to dribble from the nozzle. Fitted it all back together, and it works again. Small blockage moved.

Our tank also leaked. We tightened the cap even more and that seemed to work.

It adjust the flow rate through opening size therefor adjusting the pressure as well. I've got mine working finally but you have to wrap the threads several times with teflon tape to keep it from leaking at the connection.

On my first try it left my floor completely soaked. I was using it like a vacuum and moving it back and forth, just as the directions suggested, but perhaps too fast. I then tried moving forward only at a slow steady pace and my floors were left with a minimal amount of water, about as much as I would expect.
