I'll tell one anti Delta story. I had a Delta faucet with the pull out hose
in the kitchen. In other words no separate sprayer. Starts leaking and I
follow the instructions for dissassembly that comes with the bag of parts.
Well they made no mention of special procedures to follow if it had the pull
out nozzle so I immediately ruined the hose thanks to their lousy
instructions. I ripped out the faucet and put in a moen. The moen hose is
connected so it cannot be ruined if you follow Moen standard disassembly
instructions.

My house if full of delta faucets. Every time one goes bad I replace it
with a Moen. With a Moen you just replace the cartridge and Moen will
send you one for free if you ask. With Delta, you got the ball, little
pieces of rubber and springs. The moen just seems to be better engineered
in my opinion.

The cheap Delta 2-handle faucets in our bathrooms are leaking, and
replacement of the O rings only slowed the leaks. And I think they're
ugly anyway, so this is a good excuse to replace them. :-) I found
posts recommending Moen, Price Pfister, and Delta, but then I've found
just as many posts complaining about them. I know to look for metal
parts instead of plastic (but I don't really know *where* to look for
plastic). And we have hard water. I'd prefer to keep it under $100 - I
know a $19.99 faucet isn't going to be the best quality, but I also
know a $500 faucet isn't necessarily better than a $100 faucet. Would
we have better luck with better Delta faucets - did ours fail because
they're Delta, because they're cheap, or because of our hard water or
some other factor? Any brands/types I should consider, or avoid?
Thanks
