How to Fix the Uneven Spray on a Kohler K-R596

The spray on the Kohler K-R596 is often uneven due to build up of sediment and deposits on the screen of the sprayer. If this happens to your faucet, you don't need to get a replacement or hire a plumber. The fix is simple, and requires absolutely no additional tools or parts. All you need to do is take about 10 minutes to solve the issue with a simple cleaning job.

Instructions

- 1
  Pull the sprayer head down from the end of the spout and hold it over the kitchen sink so the face of the sprayer head is pointed into the basin of the sink.
- 2
  Turn the faucet on by pushing the handle to the full on position. Set the water temperature to cold or lukewarm for the best results.
- 3
  Continually run your fingers around the surface of the sprayer face, the part on the end of the sprayer head where the water comes out. This is the part where sediment accumulates and blocks the nozzle, preventing some of the nozzle from dispensing water. Rubbing your fingers along the surface breaks up the sediment and returns the sprayer head to normal flow.

  Turn the faucet off. Remove the sprayer head by turning it counterclockwise. Take the screen out of the base of the sprayer head and rinse it in clear water to remove sediment build up. Replace the screen and sprayer head.
