Does the faucet work slower with this system

Yes it does but only cold water. It's in kitchen sink where hot water is used more .

Yes it does reduce the flow of water. If you have a good flow now it is not significant.

in short- yes, the connectors are 3/8" push-in hose and so you are making some serious drops in water flow from 1/2" line. I placed this in my RV and gave it a small dedicated faucet of it's own which works really nice. This basically extends the life of the filter to serious drinking/coffee, but allows my std faucet to handle the cleaning chores. I highly recommend a separate faucet even though they say it can be used with exiting faucet. If you have a sprayer on your current faucet you will be very hard pressed to get it to work with the lower water flow rate. I bought this faucet: http://www.amazon.com/Filter-Purifier-Faucet-European-Brushed/dp/B000KBD2KY/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1381002634&sr=1-3-fkmr0&keywords=purified+water+faucet+stainless or something similar if you can. Because it quick connect fittings, this makes it easy to go from the filter to the 2nd faucet. If you need further info on setting this up- let me know

Yes, the faucet handle only moves about 2-3 inches and should work fine. The spray feature pulls down much more.

Haven't installed faucet as yet. Sorry I don't have an answer for you at this time. Sue

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.

Yes it can. I don't have the problem myself, but another method would be to reduce the pressure at the shut off valves under your sink. Start turning them down till you have the desired pressure at the faucet.

It did mine. That's where I am using it mostly. I'd say yes unless you don't have a standard size faucet.

Sorry, I can't help you. We have had no issues with the faucet or water pressure.

We installed it. It takes some work because the fittings aren't the usual ones. I love the faucet, but it does not have an aerator so it splashes more than you might expect.

Yes, your faucet works the same as it did before. The only thing this does is circulate the hot water to the cold water side and back to the water heater, so that your faucet has hot water all the time while the pump is running. The valve installed underneath the faucet controls the flow of hot water back to the water heater to maintain hot water at the faucet. You control the temperature coming out of the faucet.

You can still use your faucet unrestricted (to wash your hands), or pull the switch to divert water to the filter. This block filter has a much faster flow than a traditional granulated filter. Still, I turn the water flow down a little because I figure a slower flow might get filtered better. I'm not sure if that's really true. For what it's worth, I'm really happy with this filter.

The single stream is slow but worth it. I've used this system for years. Very satisified.

I have not noticed any difference. I like this faucet a lot. The handles feel substantial, the water pressure excellent, and looks beautiful.

Yes it does. Our last faucet the regular flow was a default so every time you turn the water on it was regular. This has no default. It will come on with whichever flow you leave it on.

The power output is dependent on the Pressure and Volume of water. If the faucet is opened slowly the power output will build accordingly.

See this other model instead: 3M Filtrete 3US-PS01 Undersink Water Filtration System Slight differences in filtration but does use existing faucet and doesn't reduce water flow.

Yes. I use it for my whole house. If I have more than 2 faucets running the pressure drops do to the heating element slowing down the water.

No but I would recommend a taller faucet. A shorter faucet design made the bump annoying so we swapped the faucet put for a taller one and it works nicely. Live the sink
