I've spent 2 days this weekend without water because of a delta
faucet.

After about 8 hrs of trying to repair the faucet myself, I've got a
plumber coming Monday.
Its virtually impossible for a layman to replace the springs and seats
on a delta faucet.
The faucet is of such poor quality that they wont seat properly
without leaking unless a professioanl plumber does it at $65/hr.

The delta website provides little in the way of help. I found a half
dozen other websites that provided more info on how to repair a faucet
then delta does.

My house is barely 5 yrs old. No reason I should have a leaky faucet
except for the poor quality of delta faucets. Customer support has
been non existent so far. You don't want to go through what I am now.
Spend the extra money and buy a quality faucet. Delta repair products
are cheap, the problem is the $65/hr plumbers charge and only a
plumber will be able to seat such cheap spring seat propertly without
leaking.

Did you use a Delta kit? I repaired my kitchen faucet once with a non
Delta kit and it still leaked. Had to do it over with a Delta kit. Not
too hard, takes about 15 minutes.

In my last house of ~ 20 years. I had two different brand of Kitchen
faucets.
American Standard and a Delta. Each seemed to need to be rebuilt about
every 3- 5 years. I think it depends on how hard the kids are on
turning it on and off.

Other than that I did have a problem where the nozzle button quit
working.
I called Delta to try to buy a new replacement, and they send me a new
nozzle, hose and rebuild kit free of charge. No questions asked.
Pretty darn good customer service.
