My new one from Costco initially had good flow. Since I get the hot water on, the flow quickly reeduced to even less than my water filter on same line

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this.

Maybe there was some crud in the hot water line. Unscrew and flush the filter screen.

I would either ask a plumber to look at it, or the water filter may be reducing the flow. I have no problem with water flow on my faucet. Another thing, if you just recently bought the faucet from Costco, they will take it back or exchange it if defective.

You need to clean or remove all together the check valve that is located on the and where the faucet's tube connects to water pipe.

Hot side of cartridge has small piece of sediment blocking it. Try to blow out or change cartridge. Patrician faucet has lifetime warranty they'll send you new cartridge.

As everyone else is saying check for sediment/Calcium deposit build-up, or valve problem. As far as the faucet.....it is a great faucet.

I gave up continually fixing the badly designed tank made by Emerson. It was a waste on money. I replaced it with a Quick and Hot dispenser from Costco. Faster flow and it has been reliable at about 1/2 the cost. - Phil

I would expect the flow rate to be slightly less than an EZ-1, but I have used two of the EZ-3 filters, and both of them have been considerably slower, little more than a trickle. Most likely they filter better, but I will go back to the EZ-1 next change, if they are still available.

I have heard that if the filters aren't replaced regularly the water flow is affected. Not sure if this will help your problem but it's something to consider.

Hi friend. Did you let the water run for 5 min after initial installation the fist time? It is in the correct position. Also make sure the filter is on the right position. If this keep happening then I believe that it is defective. I hope not.

It is most likely because you have low water flow/pressure, if you are feeding this with a pump you may need a bigger pump, I f you have a filter system on your water supply perhaps its plugged?

Nina--I've had my hot water dispenser since Jan of 2011. So far I've not had any trouble with it. One of the things you could check (or have a handyman?) is the water line could be clogged somewhere along the way. Other than that I really don't know. I just read the other suggestions & I agree with them. I think I'd contact Waste King & see if they can help.

I just went through this issue as well, with the New and Improved filters...as Special Etc mentioned, it was because I hadn't pushed down on the filter enough to create a seal. I could actually see water leaking out the bottom, in addition to it pouring out the 4 holes. After pulling it out, re-inserting it and pushing it down hard, it sat much better and the filtering was back to normal again.

Gallons per minute and pressure drop in house if filter doesn't let water through fast enough.

Mine started to leak from the bottom about 8-9 months after purchase. I'll see if I can return it to Costco.

Check the washers inside the anti-syphon and reducing valve. The one with the mesh may be clogged or twisted to block proper flow. I had a problem that they didn't seat properly and caused reduced flow. Also, if you run one head to the next using the 1/4" tubing, you will not get good flow on that line or lines. I took these out and ran direct runs from the 1/2" tube directly to each head.

The water cannot come out of the filter as fast as the faucet, due to the filtering element. I found it to be ok, but not if you are in a big hurry all the time.

There is a switch you can move it to raight or to the left is the one were water are sucked to the filter even to fast flow the flow is not that much ( it is realy slow water flow ) put it dose the job.Good luck

Well, that's interesting. I stopped using it because it was too low flow, esp when the water was all the way over on hot. The water never felt hot enough and on that setting, there was really no flow at all.

Mine does the same thing if I fill it even close to the max line. I just fill it up to under the max line and it works better, still leaks some but not as much as before.

I would be suspect if there was a noticeable flow difference. My experience has been that new filter cartridges produces a better flow for a while and gradually diminishes.

I purchased four of this model recently and love them. Three of them have equal flow from hot to cold. One has a lower flow rate in the hot position than in the cold position. I have no idea why this is the case as it is adjacent to another (double sink counter) faucet that has the same flow rate in either position. I wish the flow rate in hot position was higher but can live with it is acceptable for my needs.
