| I am trying to choose between the grohe brookfield pull down faucet and a danze opulence faucet. Almost all faucets have a flow rate of 2.2 gal per minute. The grohe is 1.5 gpm (no doubt due to some EU regulation). I have heard that there are ways to increase the flow of the faucet. Does anyone know about this. I hesitate to get the grohe if I can't get a good powerful spray or fill a big pot in the time I'm used to. Any information is appreciated! |

| Don't knock it until you've tried it. It's more than enough to wash your veggies. And it really isn't appreciably longer to wait on the pasta pot to fill. A couple of seconds. |

| I have a grohe faucet and would also like to know if there's an answer to your question! I LOVE my faucet and have gotten used to the flow rate. I like that when I turn it on the water doesn't splash everywhere. BUT my husband hates it. He is not used to it at all and would like to up the flow rate a bit. |

| Hi Chitown- I know my dad had a plumber up the flow rate in his girlfriends grohe. I talked to him tonight and he said that there is something in the faucet that you replace and then the gpm is the standard 2.2 gpm. I think the slower flow may drive me nuts. If I want to use the spray to power wash I dirty plate, I think I would be annoyed that hey went out of their way to make the faucet less effective.Especially grohe's aren't cheap and now to pay a plumber to "fix" it right away. I wish I didn't like the way it looks so much.
