Hmmm. Not sure about that request, but we have a KWC Systema 10.501.144.xxx. It does do what you're asking for, but also has the advantage of the regular faucet as well. It has a standard faucet as well as the large pull down. There is a main valve at the base that controls flow to both faucet and pulldown, but unlike the Blanco Master Gourmet we replaced, it has a second valve on the actual faucet. If you turn on the main valve, but close the valve on the faucet, then no water flows unless you squeeze the trigger handle on the pulldown. It's a fabulous faucet, though breathtakingly expensive. Here's a picture, though the second small valve is not easily visible: Systema faucet BTW, I can't imagine wanting a faucet with only a pulldown. It's unwieldy and I'd much rather use the standard faucet when doing most routine tasks. The pulldown is great when a big blast of water is needed.

First post to GW in the 2+ years since we finished out kitchen. But now, need some help. We did indeed finally go with the Blanco Master Gourmet faucet. We were never enthralled: our biggest complaint has always been low flow rates, and the MG faucet was poor in this regard. There was no obvious way to defeat the flow restrictor that I could figure out. We just lived with it. Now, however, the faucet is malfunctioning. If you squeeze the handle on the pulldown spout, only part of the stream is diverted, with the rest running out the main faucet. Even when not using the pulldown, the flow rate through the main faucet is worse than ever. We could try to get it fixed, but the flow rate was so poor that DW has incentivized me in all kinds of creative ways to get a new one. So, the question is, can anyone recommend a "professional style" pulldown faucet, like the MG, but with a higher flow rate. I had once looked at the KWC Superba. Back then, it listed the flow through main faucet as the usual 2 gpm, but the pulldown was listed as 6 gpm. Now the latest listing does not mention a higher flow rate for the pulldown. I worry that the Feds have somehow forced them to restrict the pulldown as well. Any options? Should we look for a true restaurant grade professional faucet, or will there be installation or usability problems in our residential setting? So, bottom line--we wouldn't recommend the Blanco! Thanks for any help.

I have a faucet that sprays and stays: Cobra faucet. It's really great in my laundry room, which I used for dishes for nearly a year. ;) It's not so "nice" looking as some of the others. I think it would work really well wall-mounted; I have it on the deck of a laundry sink. It might help for you... Brenda, I had to look back at what I'd written when there was some implication that I was proferring any sort of marital advice!! lol and then some. While I can claim to have been acquainted with my partner going on 33 years, I know I know positively zero about marital (or any other kind of) harmony. By returning that faucet I wasn't really keeping peace or falling through on any game plan; it was just not really possible to have kept it. You kinda had to be there.... ;) Back to hosing about faucets ... I think there are a few parameters to consider and evaluate for your own personal relevant importance/priority. I'll try to list a few, others can add: (i) appearance (ii) spray presence (iii) spray style (depress and hold or stay-on) (iv) spray default (returns to spray on close or stays where you left it) (v) arc (affecting where stream starts relative to dink's edge) (vi) arm length (affects where stream hits bottom of sink, closeness to drain) (vii) pull down vs pull out (affects how your arm twists to grab moveable spray head) (viii) touch (foot pedals, finger touch - possibilities beyond needing a hand to turn faucet on/off) (ix) one/two handle (affects whether water temperature is mixed internally or by you with two separate handles). (x) mobility of spray handle (thus "pro-style", others address this as, say, the Cobra, Karbon's moveable spray arm, pullout and pulldown spray heads attached to faucet arm) I think selecting a faucet is a very, very personal priorities thing. Plus, critically, a matter of dovetailing with the sink you choose. Don't forget that. I think too often this is a source of outright mistake, as opposed to, say, personal preference. Problems arise when the faucet doesn't spray in the right place on the sink's bottom, or there isn't enough room to mount handles effectively or the spray is too high or hard or for whatever reason having to do with the sink (and there's no obvious formula for determining this), the spray bounces too much. I'm sure others will flush out these lists, the list of personal preference parameters to negotiate, as well as the list of problems-sources. The only part of this whole process I truly hated was choosing the faucet, and I'm not sure I did a good job. My Karbon Kohler gets too wet at the handle, all of the time. I suppose this is a function of how I use the sink, with dripping-wet hands. Dunno. It may be just that coupled with its appearance with the little chrome ring on the countertop you just really see the water all puddled up. It's kinda annoying. My lady lux needs to have a button depressed in a too-concerted effort; there's not a ton of room to pull it out given my sink - a mistake I suppose. Both faucets need a huge amount of water pressure before their spray stays on (not so for the cobra which stays in whatever stream style you depress; it's a mechanical switch rather than an internal one dependent on the water pressure). The cobra wouldn't have been a long enough reach for the kitchen faucets. FWIW the fauset I really really wanted was the Waterstone semi-pro. At $2500 that was just an order of magnitude more than I could stomach paying! But it had a great stream, good spring, beautiful appearance, great "hand" - really a good one if you could find it in a fire sale or something.

Wow, great feedback and fast too! @Green: good advice, though I will say that my water quality appears pretty good. I base that mainly on the three drip irrigation systems I run. I clean the filters twice a year, but there is typically virtually no debris despite running hundreds of gallons of water through them. @David: Great references, esp the last post you linked to regarding "semi-pro/commercial faucets." I was immediately reminded of the problems with a true commercial prerinse unit, which I had been told of three years ago. Also fun to see the video of the KWC, which was the faucet I had almost gotten originally. Looks great, probably would have been worth the $1200 back then. Some of the other faucets like the Elevate look fun, but we are trying to stick with the metal coil/prerinse look as the island and sink are so huge that the scale demands a really big faucet. The good news: Blanco customer service responded within 30 minutes of sending a message through their website, and they are sending out a new diverter and sprayer. That will at least allow us to buy some time. Though after seeing the video I suspect DW will still push for the KWC. Her offer was pretty good though...
