What to look for in a lav faucet when PSI low

[Joan Duncan]

We have a cain that has a PSI of 20. What do I look for in a lav faucet to ensure proper function? Do I need to use a two handle faucet — would prefer one handle but just want to get a nice one that will work. I bought one of the kitchen faucets with a sprayer and was told by a contractor that I couldn't do that. I don't know if same principles apply here?

I do not think the type faucet matters so much but rather the aerator you choose is the most important:

Adding to what Smooky said, you may want a PCA aerator (Pressure Compensating).

That's a special kind of aerator that gives constant flow regardless of the water source.

For example, if you put a low flow aerator like 1.0gpm, that aerator will only deliver 1.0gpm if you turn your faucet handles to the max. If you just partially open your faucets, you will get much less than 1.0gpm.

The PCA 1.0gpm aerator will still deliver 1.0gpm if the supply is feeding it at least 1.0gpm.
