anyone have the moen arbor kitchen faucet
Comments (1)Sorry I do not have that faucet. I know a lot of people here have had good luck with Moen but I have not. I had moen faucets in all the bathrooms though and they did not work for my family. The plastic casings inside attaching the handles have broke and crumbled away several times and when they do as your model gets older it becomes hard to find handle replacements to match.I briefly had a Moen kitchen tap and it lasted no time at all. Maybe itÂs just that my family is hard on things but Moen does not seem to be made well like those of yesteryears....See MoreMoen Arbor Faucet - First Impressions
Comments (3)Hazelwags, thanks for your input. Filing a gallon jug in 51 seconds equates to 0.85 gal/min. Do you know the flow rate for your cold water filter? If it's more than 0.9 gal/min, then it likely isn't affecting the flow of the faucet. I tested mine using warm water, so the maximum amount of water would be flowing through the faucet. Also, did you test the flow using the Motionsense detector or the lever? Other posts on GW have indicated that the flow rate is better when using MotionSense than using the handle. StarCraft, thanks for the info about Watersense certification. I have a relatively new well and pump that delivers 15 gpm at 68 psi, so I don't think water pressure is the problem. I can get 5-6 gpm with great pressure from my old 1980's showerhead, so it's the faucet that is restricting the flow....See MoreMoen Motionsense kitchen faucet
Comments (2)If you ever decide you're tired of batteries, you might consider a Tapmaster. No batteries, no electricity. No waving your arms around to get the water to come on. Works by tapping into your valves under the sink. We have three. The oldest was installed in 2002. All still work flawlessly. Simply press your toe against a plate connected to the toekick. It's like having three hands! tapmaster.ca...See MoreWhich faucet (kitchen) - Kohler, Grohe or Moen?
Comments (14)We're renovating our kitchen and I just paid for 3 kitchen faucets today! One for the main sink--a whitehaven like yours--one for the large prep sink and one for a small pantry sink. After a pile of research and talking with contractors, dealers, and salespeople, we settled on Kohler for the two kitchen sinks and a lesser known brand for the pantry. We went with the kohler bellera--a different style, not trying to suggest it--but it was only $400 (Cdn, too, cheaper in the US, I'm sure). Basically what we heard was that all of these are good brands. All of these companies have good customer service and good warranties. All of them make cheaper versions of their faucets for big box stores, and those cheaper price points mean more plastic parts rather than metal ones. We are big cooks and have had to replace a lot of $200 faucets, so we were quite willing to spend $400 on something that should last a long time, although we weren't willing to spend $800! Plumbers like Moen (which we have done in our bathrooms) because parts are easy to get and easy to replace. But this is because the parts need replacing regularly! Kohler has a lifetime warrantee not just on the cartridges, but on everything, including the finish. You have to call them for parts; the plumber thinks that's a pain, but Kohler will ship within 24hrs, all for free. Grohe is now owned by the same company that owns Delta, etc, and I have heard the quality has gone down. Personally I didn't think it was worth paying a premium for. I love the Kohler faucet you posted--don't know how I missed that one! :) My one caution/ concern is to check the height. I don't know what the rule of thumb is, bit we found that taller faucets just end up splashīng and overpowering regular sinks. The industrial faucets were originally designed for the massive, deep commercial restaurant sinks and I was nervous about some of the towering ones we saw. Hope that's helpful!...See MoreHU-275150242
