Delta Faucet Pilar Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet

Purchased the Perfect Faucet - This year we remodeled our kitchen and replaced the faucet with the Delta faucet from Lowes. The price, under $350, was very reasonable. The installation went well, but I cannot imagine anyone installing this faucet that does NOT have a solid grasp of mechanical aptitude.

* Battery Life - This all came after replacing 2 sets of batteries in less than 2 weeks. I have been involved in electronics for most of my life and was just mystified why the folks at Delta offered a battery solution without an Optional adapter. I think the battery adapter should have been included with the faucet and charged a few bucks more. Marketers are always looking for ways to get extended sales and this is a no brainier to offer it as a must have accessory for $30-50. Everyone would buy it.

What you need to do - You are only going to replace the battery pack with a permanent low voltage wall unit. I did not want to wait around for Delta to figure it out,...Read more

We've been using this faucet for about 4 months. The styling and stainless steel finish complements our appliances nicely. The faucet, spray head and control handle feel solid. The spray head easily comes off the spout by tilting it slightly to release the magnet, then reattaches tightly. The sprayer hose is more than long enough to reach all corners of our large double sink and beyond. The one design flaw I can see is that the control handle has the same touch technology as the faucet. It takes some getting used to as you can't just tap the water flow up or down a notch. You must grasp and hold (as noted in the instructions) to avoid inadvertently turning the water off. The unit uses batteries and has a small blue indicator light in the black band at the base of the faucet. Overall, very stylish and a neat gadget to have when you want to turn the water on or off while your hands are messy and/or full.

High quality with very nice features. Having the ability to pause the water stream or stop it just by touching the spout or handle comes in handy whether you are washing your hands or doing dishes. You can save money with this feature. The faucet looks very good with nice styling. It comes with PEX hoses and very easy connection features.

The faucet is designed for 4" to 18" spread between the handle and spout, but I do not recall that being specified in the advertisements. Our large single bowl sink caused the two to be mounted at opposite sides at the rear of the sink--20" apart center to center. I soon discovered that the spout grounding wire and the LED spout indicator cable would not reach that distance. The grounding wire is a single conductor so it was easy enough to splice and solder some additional wire to span the distance.

The LED cable is a three conductor cable with a jack and receptacle connection. To span the extra distance I...Read more
