New Price Pfister kitchen faucet drips
I recently bought a new Price Pfister kitchen faucet (#53P-50SS). The
problem was, when I turned it off, it continued to drip for about 20 seconds, before stopping. Now that is kinda annoying since it is brand new. 20 seconds is a long time. I would it expect it to stop almost immediately. I contact Price Pfister and they sent me a new head. Installed, but same problem. I contacted Price Pfister and they sent me a new cartridge. Same problem. I called again and explained the problem and asked if this was normal for this model. This time the customer service rep said, "oh yeah they will drip like that for about 2-4 weeks. Then they will stop. It has to d with the pressure." That sounded very strange to me. Has anyone else had this kind of experience? It just sounded strange. And if it were true, wouldn't they note it in the installation, operating instructions? |

About 2 yrs ago, PP replaced the spout because the threads were corroding and coming apart. It was easy to get the part, gratis, in the 'net. Recently, the cold handle started to leak. Can't even find the model number on their website. Local plumbing concern promised they would have a cartridge in soon, but I was out of town and haven't gotten back to them. I think my next faucet will come from a local supplier rather than the big box store. |

And if it were true, wouldn't they note it in the installation, operating instructions? Yes I had the exact same experience. The one I had was the same model you have. The PP faucet I had would not readily flow water, and just like you said, it continued to dribble just like you described after it was shut off. My house water pressure is 62 PSI. I have a full underground sprinkler system that works fine. Point is, I have no issues with water pressure. I ended up pulling that piece of crap out and replacing it. I suggest you do the same. It will not fix itself or get better. Perhaps since it's new, it's not too late to take it back? |

Judging from the posts here and my own experience, it is one of life's enterprise miracles that P-F is still in business. As has been said numerous times, don't bother with the miserable thing, get rid of it now. The kindest thing we can say about P-F is that their ethics are evidently better than many of their peers. Good luck. Joe |

The new cartridge fixed the problem. Problem is, I have two of them, and told them I had two of them with the same problem.

They claim a lifetime warranty, and since faucets don't have a life, they must mean my lifetime, and I ain't dead yet. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Our kitchen faucet - about 5 years old - was corroding on end of spout so they sent a new one. At the time, the process was easy, about 1 yr. after we purchased it. Now the c. cartridge is trash, and I can't even find our model number on the website. I have a part number but waited on "hold" for about 15 min. before giving up. Gotta be something better - did I say it was made in China? |
