I purchased this faucet because it is very attractive.  I did not think to check the GPM.  I also believed I could remove the water saving portion of the faucet (as I have done with shower heads), or change out for another (like 2.2 GPM).  Does not seem to be solution.  Now I have a very attractive faucet with very little flow.  Extremely disappointed.  May take the loss and find another faucet that I will be happy with.
