Lead-free / all stainless faucets ... ?Grohe RealSteel®Â
Comments (13)Good god, people love to dump on someone and belittle their concerns, rather than contributing anything that might be useful. Read a bit about environmental toxins, and you might change your mind. Otherwise, put a sock in it. I am also concerned with reducing my exposure to environmental toxins. People live longer, yes, but they also are getting diseases linked to chemical exposure with more frequency as well. Also, there is NO SAFE LEVEL of lead, period. Lead is a neurotoxin, and particularly for people with growing brains (eg. children) this is an extremely valid and serious concern. Why do you think the government keeps lowering the allowable amount of lead? Have you read anything about the link between lead and lowered cognitive ability, or aggressive and antisocial behavior? You can keep burying your head in the sand, but those of us who care will not. And your patronizing condescension won't make an iota of difference. You can thank us later when you've been drinking from your faucets that have vastly less lead than they used to have (though I'm going for faucets that are 100% lead free)....See MoreCompatability of Kohler & Grohe Faucets
Comments (2)"My builder tells me that it's impossible to replace the Grohe with the Kohler that I specified because these 2 brands of faucets have rough-in valves that are not compatible. And I believe he's correct about the compatibility part, not about the possibility of correcting his mistake. " Absolutely true. Your builder is going to have to replace the rough in valves in the wall. Sorry, builder, but you should have read the specs. BTW, who says Grohe faucets are better the Kohler? I have never heard such a thing, and I don't think its true....See MoreGrohe Bridgeford kitchen faucet or Danze Opulence
Comments (3)laurie, I may be too late with my opinion but here it is. My Danze Opulence looks beautiful. I think the spray feature is very nice too. However, even though it looks enormous and the measurements all seemed like it would be big enough (with me even questioning if it was too big), It doesn't reach out far enough in my single sink! I have a center drain--the faucet, when on doesn't hit it! I have such a small area that I can rinse dishes under. I know I can use the pull out. I think the issue is that the faucet is angled straight down, not slightly out. I must say that this is the most disappointing thing about my remodel. Since I have to have the dishes/pots towards the back of the sink when rinsing, the water splashes on the counter behind the faucet... It just feels a little claustrophobic for me. Before I even knew this would happen, Grohe's Ladylux 3 became available. I was going to order it, but then I wasn't sure how its finish would look with the Danze pot filler (already installed) and soap dispenser I had already purchased. I suppose if this troubles me and I can never get over it, I will need to sell it on CL and replace it! I have heard nothing but praise about the Grohe....See MoreFranke Orca sink and Grohe faucet -online source???
Comments (15)I recently posted a 5% discount coupon that I found on 'Retail Me Not" from National Builder Supply and got a lot of good feedback. They are a Grohe dealer and price match plus free shipping. The coupon code is 64895311. I have a Grohe Bridgeford faucet and love it and have rarely ever seena complaint here with the exception of the one posted here on this thread. Good Luck...See Moregowelch
