I just received the unit. The prod. description says flow rate 2.2 gpm but the box label says max 1.8gpm. Does anyone have an issue with low volume?

I don't know about the gpm; I had a plumber install. My water pressure and flow rate from the faucet is really strong.
479065
never paid much attention to flow rate, but we have flow rate to meet our needs. I would expect that flow rate is is related to the pressure that your water supply or regulator provides.

Have had my unit since August. Flow volume is definitely adequate, enough so that you can't keep it on full blast very long. Absolutely love the faucet. It's very sturdy quality and is very well made. I hope it lasts for years.

I have had the unit installed for several months and it has operated flawlessly. Good water flow. Nice hand feel with a good weight to it. It has been a sturdy and stylish solution. Very pleased with my purchase.

I don't know what the numerical flow rate is but it's definitely an improvement over my old faucet. No complaints here.

call Kraus customer service to double check which gpm is correct. I have thiis but not yet installed.
479070
Yes, I did have problems with this faucet. So much so that I had to return it.

We installed this faucet in our kitchen this fall and there is definitely not a problem with low volume. In fact we have to be careful not to open the lever completely or the water volume can cause splashing -- especially in the spray setting. This is in a cottage with an average of only 50 psi water pressure.

No, no issue with low volume in fact I think there is a lot of pressure... if there is a lower volume in your sink, make sure your house pressure is adequate

Possibly a defective unit? I think if you have good connections that do not leak, beyond that I would return the unit for another one. My unit has worked great from day 1.Good Luck, Dan

Specs say 35gph with MAX pressure of 7 psi... It maintained under 5 psi feeding a edelbrock 650 cfm carb on a 460 motor. Also, Mine lasted less than 50 miles.. I'm assuming it was defective. I have replaced it with a Holley Red + regulator and while it is louder (I even have it rubber mounted) it is able to maintain the 5psi I need.

On the box it says 3 gpm but this can be confusing. While it may be able to push 3 gpm it depends on how far from the point of use you are and how hot you want the water to be. I am in a warm weather climate and find that I can use it very easily with a 1.5 gpm shower head and for use in my kitchen sink. That seems to max out the units effectiveness. Hope this helps. By the way, I am very happy with this unit.

The chart on the side of the box says that at 0ft, it goes 120gph, 1ft is 85 gph, and 2 feet is 45gph. So, you're talking about a pretty slow flow rate at 18". It doesn't say if that's vertical lift or just the distance of the tubing, but the effectiveness will depend on what you're using it for.

Mine is rated the same and it seems to be working fine though I never really play at high volumes. Great speakers

Can't say for sure but it does flow all that is supplied. It is a nice unit. The Manufacturer should be able to tell you the max flow rate.

I measured the GPM at 2.5. It does not have a flow restrictor that can be removed.

Hello J. Taneri, I've never really pumped any distance with mine the only info I could give you is what I have done with mine-I've pumped from a stream- with the pump drawing the water from about 8 feet down to a barrel in my Jeep and the discharge hose is app 12 feet long. It took awhile to fill the 55 gallons maybe about 3 gal per minute. Maybe I was over exerting the pump the way I was using it??? I failed to prime the pump one time i got too impatient and burned the impeller. I got a replacement and it works fine again. any other questions please ask. jerry mayers Hello J.

2.2 GPM with both on. with one on I would speculate it is more than 1.1 as it increases the water output of the single device. I would guess maybe between 1.4 and 1.7 with just 1 on.

Not that I know of. I think it's pure physics since all of these style faucets with the pull out nozzles have smaller diameter hoses in them. You could do a simple test and check the actual water flow in GPM and compare that to the mfg rated flow. I'm happy with the flow rate and we are on a deep well with pressure much lower than city water.

I measured it once with a meter... I can't remember all that well (measured it when I got it last year).... I think it is around 80-85 dba within 1 meter of the unit (according to my decibel measuring device)...... but certainly less in the fuel conservation mode.... it is not too bad.... similar to most units ... maybe more but not as much as some of the older units... I like it and I am always concerned about the dba....

From my experience this is not a fixed value. If you set the flow switch at 0.5 GPM and the temperature at max, when you are flowing at a rate just above the 0.5 GPM you can a 90 Deg. F rise per the book. If you increase the flow rate above 0.5 Deg. F the temperature rise will decrease below 90 Deg. F. I have discovered that if I am using only the hot water and decrease the flow rate the temperature goes up. Note: 1 BUT will raise 1 pound of water 1 Deg. F; 1 gal = 8.34 pounds of water. Good luck with your unit, so times getting the proper balance between hot and cold water is a challenge. From my experience this is not a fixed value.

I bought this kit and it works great. I've been using it since 2011 and I understand it well. The EccoTemp L5 heater flows 1.3 GPM maximum. The description: "2.9 GPM, 50 PSI, 12 Volt, 4.4 Amp Pump" refers to the pump in the kit, which can supply more capacity than the L5 is able to flow. Regardless of the flow available, only 1.3 GPM will come out of the L5 heater. Incidentally 1.3 GPM is a good shower, and has even proclaimed decadent by some thankful users. But it is the smallest heater you can get.

You can see a chart on depth/psi and some additional specs here: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/Mine is at 100' - I didn't get a chance to measure the gpm on my install, but it seems at least 12 gpm. Of course, my well is a slow artesian so I usually have 100' of head water on top of the pump. But so far it's been a great pump.

I don't know what that means. To activate, this unit requires a minimum flow rate of 0.15 gpm. The only effect of this for us has been on our dishwasher, which fortunately, has an internal heater. Otherwise, we have noticed no performance difference between this heater and our previous, tanked, heater. Except, of course, that we never run out of hot water anymore and our gas bill has gone down by about 10%.

You should only have a flow rate of 1/2 gallon per minute at max. The slower you run it the better filtration you will have.
