I have a Kohler kitchen faucet that has caused me quite a bit of trouble with the sprayer. After the initial install, I discovered that the sprayer did not work well. Most times it would provide an anemic spray while water still came out of the spout. I called Kohler (and throughout this they have been very accomodating) and they told me that it must be the diverter and they would send me a new one. Unfortunately, the installation instructions showed a different assembly into which you were supposed to insert the diverter. Nevertheless, I installed the new diverter which marginally improved the situation. Kohler then sent a complete new faucet. I installed that last weekend and now I have no problem with the diverter or the strength of the spray. Now the spray drips onto my granite countertop after use. The only way to avoid this is to leave the sprayer hose extended and the spray head in the sink for an hour or more.
The only thing that I can think of is that the spray head itself is holding water which eventually drips out of the spray holes. Is this just a design flaw? Both the old and the new spray head have the same problem. And it's definitely the head, because if I remove the head no water drips from the spray hose. I guess I could go out and buy a different head (although it might not match the fixture perfectly). Has anyone else had this problem? Solutions?
