The Lacuna (and possibly other faucets) has a backflow valve assembly in the hose. There is a lacuna_maintenance pdf from hansgrohe that shows how to clean it. Details not in the maintenance sheet: * the blue cap thing has an o-ring. It's tiny; be careful to do any work over a plugged sink to not lose it down the drain. * the two white things are backflow valves. Mine were so sticky that the valve was stuck. Only after cleaning did i realize they were valves. * if you have low pressure, rinsing with water probably won't fix you, you'd need a stiff bristle brush.
