: I am replacing our kitchen faucet and have been looking at the pullouts. : I do use our sprayer a lot so I need one. We take our water from the small lake next : to our house and tho it is filtered(our drinking water is distilled), small particles : still get through. I clean the inflows to the washing machine every few months. : I am concerned that if I get a pullout kitchen faucet and the holes get clogged in the : sprayer, then I may be out an entire faucet. I am now thinking of getting a regular faucet : with the separate sprayer. I would like a better quality sprayer, tho, as the one I am using : now, a Price Pfister, does not have the pressure. With the lesser quality, and maybe all, : sprayers, there is no way to clean the head. I was told at Home Depot that if the sprayer : head gets clogged to just throw it away. Can you recommend a good quality faucet w/sprayer? Reply: Delta makes a good pull out type faucet but with your water conditions, nothing will be trouble free, you will have constant problems. Even if you purchase a regular faucet with the spray hose seperate, the internal parts of the faucet itself will get clogged with debris. Good Luck. e-plumber
