Galley Faucet Pulses.

What is the special tool for?

MM
If you look at the end of the faucet you'll see round portion where the water comes and it is stepped around the outside edge and the round tool or what ever you want to call it goes into there and that piece unscrews so you can clean out the screen (aerater) and the water saver is usually there also. The tool is usually green. Every pull down faucet I put in in last 3 or4 years for customers has the little tool but most people threw it away cause they don't know what its for or people loose it and go to store and steal it from another one. You could call kohler and they might be able to send you one. I've got it out before with long nose pliers with the small pointy ends but be careful. I'd send you one but I leave them with the customer. The faucet companies are getting slick as the water savers used to have O-rings on them and you could take them off or discard the whole piece but now they use a piece with just a small hole you need to drill out as you can't discard the piece cause you need its thickness to get everything tight when put back together. so hope you understand all this and it helps

Thank you so much, it all makes sense.

Keep in mind that when you increase the flow(drill out a saver) that all is well when your at the dock with an endless supply of water. When you leave the dock and are going to be on the hook for 3 or 4 days, and relying on amount of water in tank, its good to conserve as much as possible.

try to duplicate the non pulsing by removing the entire head before you alter any aerater.

That definitely makes sense, however the pulsing only occurs on the pump, not on shore water. Hopefully we are astute enough to mentally and manually conserve water without Kohler restricting us. LOL

I know my wife and I are good at conserving on the hook, but some of my guests must think we get the water from the bay somehow and there is an endless supply---they wash their hand like they are doing a scrub for surgery, or rinse off plates like they are trying to get the pattern off.

So I need to reinsert the restrictor in the guest head? LOL
