My husband installed my new Perrin Rowe bridge faucet. Water comes out the sprayer but not the faucet spout. Any idea why?

Can you get both hot and cold from the side spray?

Aliceinwonderland, I'm new to posting so I may not be doing this right. I have a question regarding what type of water-treatment system to install at our Florida Beach condo. We recently completed a total renovation (including reply re-plumbing...the only thing we didn't re-do was the AC duct system bc our contractor said it wasn't necessary). We're having water spotting on all of our chrome fixtures, glass doors and natural stone shower walls, etc.. We're on water supplied by Volusia County. Is there a residential water treatment system that will eliminate the water-spotting and thereby eliminate the need for me to wipe down and dry the showers after every use?

Dawn, I am a righty. I don't think it would matter with a rectanglesink, you could place them whereever you wanted. We had to place the faucet, control and side spray to the right since there was more room between the sink and the backsplash also tried to minimise that the sink was not centered exactly on the center of the window. So get a piece of plywood - trace your sink profile and cut holes for the faucet etc in it for placement and put it where your sink will be-and set the pieces in it to see if you like it- thats what we did. I love having one control lever instead of two knobs. Also I like not having to twist a faucet handle- now I have arthritis in both thumbs and this is way easier. Something we didn't count on just a year ago! Thanks for the compliment on the kitchen, I am very proud of DH, he did it all with the exception of installing the granite. we bought the cabs. Divamum- my backsplash is painted beadboard and behind the range is tin ceiling tile painted (leftover from a dear friends ceiling!) Sue

Which bridge faucet would you pick?

@kmcg, I love having two handles---and thought we'd hate it when we first moved into our house. Instead, we chose the same style faucet for the remodel! We do have our hot water heater set at a pretty moderate temperature (enough for nice hot showers but low enough that it can't scald). So that means we can (and do) turn just the hot tap on when we want warm water, and just the cold tap on for cold. I rarely mix the two unless I'm running a big sink full of water for something or need lukewarm water for bread, so it effectively functions as a single handle faucet for most uses. If you keep your heater on a higher setting, you'd probably be mixing the two more. Our new faucet also has levers on the top of the faucet (like the two here), whereas the old one had cross handles on the front. I prefer the cross handles aesthetically and had fully intended to replace the levers (which just happened to be what came with our model faucet, since unlike most of the Chicago faucets in only came in one version...yay California regulations!) But I've found I really prefer the levers functionally, so we're keeping them. We have a bungalow-style kitchen, so the traditional look fits in nicely with the aesthetic (mix of white inset and gray frameless, soapstone counters, and white cast iron sink).

If you can use Windsor Bronze finish, there is a new Franke Manor House on ebay for $699 OBO. I bought mine as a discontinued show room model, from a different seller, so I paid much less than the one in the link--I think mine is a less expensive model anyway. Bronze wouldn't have been my first choice, but for the quality and price, I couldn't pass it up for my budget remodel. I love the faucet, and I've come to appreciate the finish. If you're looking for a filter faucet, too, I don't know if you could match the bronze finish exactly, so that is something else to consider. My filter faucet (also an ebay bargain) is a slightly different color, but no one IRL has noticed the difference. Here is a link that might be useful: Franke bridge faucet

Not familiar with this exact brand, but for whatever its worth, consensus seems to be that so long as you avoid the real bottom of the barrel faucets [house brands, no names, etc,], faucets all function about the same. All the 'decent' ones will have decent finishes and ceramic cartridges. Once you pass a certain price point, you aren't paying for engineering, your paying for design. Given that the P&R bridge on Amazon is nearly $1200, you'd better be getting a LOT of design... I'd look at some of Grohe, Blanco, Rohl faucets-- all very good brands, similar in look, lower price. But if you don't find one you like as well, only you can decide if the extra look is worth the extra dollars.

Generally it is better to start a new thread, rather than posting on an existing one - that way your question gets the attention it deserves without taking away from someone else's. Regardless, the type of water treatment that is available and appropriate for your situation depends entirely upon water chemistry. Let's start with the water report from your local water treatment plant. You should be able to either find it online, or call them and ask. If the report contains adequate information, I can give provide some recommendations. If not, I'll let you know what is missing and how to obtain the necessary water analysis.

If hard water is the culprit, a softener will mitigate the spotting problem. However, if your water has really high TDS (total dissolved solids) you will still see spots - they will just be easier to remove. In any case, water analysis is required as a first step.
