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 seats propertly without
leaking.

We heard you twice the first time. :-)

Sorry for your troubles and thanks for sharing the experience.

Just so we can properly weigh your input, would you rate your
mechanical skills above or below your usenet skills? For instance,
you've posted this article at least 3 times that I have seen.

And $65/hr for a plumber... that's a deal.

Best Regards,
