Sprayhead Functions:
The sprayhead offers three distinct spray patterns, selectable via buttons on the sprayhead:
- Aerated Stream: Provides a consistent, aerated flow suitable for everyday tasks like filling pots and general rinsing.
- Sweep Spray: Creates a wide, forceful blade of water, ideal for powerful cleaning of dishes and the sink basin.
- BerrySoft Spray: A gentle, light spray designed for delicate tasks such as washing hands or rinsing fruits and vegetables.
