Extremely Happy
I just replaced 3, twenty yr. old faucets with this great choice. It updated my bathrooms immediately along with some new towels. I excecially liked the lifetime warranty that came along with my purchase. Most products made today are not made to last and have little or no warranty. The fact that Delta stands behind their products is a sure sign of a quality fixture.

Lahara 2-Handle Faucet Was Very Easy to Install
Extremely easy to install primarily because it replaced the faucet that malfunctioned. Hence, it used the same template.

Delta disappoints in appearance
Disappointing brushed nickel finish. It spots easily and shows fingerprints. Would not recommend it if you care about how it looks. Made a mistake getting this.

I purchased a 2538-MPU-DST faucet. When I turn on either the hot or cold water, the faucet makes a loud noise, like gushing water. When either are turned on full force the noise disappears. How can I eliminate the noise?
Hi Ron14!
Thank you for your question and we are happy to help. We recommend flushing the valves of the faucet. With an further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us again.

Aerator poor design. Plastic tools don't work on stuck aerators. Vinegar no help. Have 2, both unable to remove. Have to replace whole faucets after only 3 yrs. Why not stay external aerators that are able to be removed and cleaned.
Hi DRM4000,
Thanks for your question regarding 2538-MPU-DST! The tool that comes with RP54977 removes the aerator for your faucet. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or for further assistance.

One of the manuals indicates 3538-MPU-DST uses seat and spring under the value (cartridge) assembly, but the seat and springs isn't noted on the parts list. Does this model use seat and springs, if so, what it the part number?
Hi Awd7th,
Thank you for your question!
The Delta Faucet 3538-MPU-DST does not use seats and springs.
Other models 3538-MPU and 3538LF use seats and springs part number RP4993.
Please reach out with any additional questions!

I have a 4 year old faucet and the cold water supply line leaks under the handle. Can this be repaired?
Hello Adam,
Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company about 2538-MPU-DST! Debris can cause the cartridge to not seal properly, we would recommend flushing the faucet. However, If the issue persists to leak, the cartridge would need replaced.

Replacement valve part number? RP60400 is not compatible. 😞
Hello Valued Customer,
Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company about 2538-MPU-DST! The DST model takes the RP60400 and was manufactured post 2012. If your faucet was installed pre-2012 and has copper supply lines, It would take the RP25513 stem unit assemblies.

Our newer house has Delta products throughout all bathrooms/kitchen. Our one master sink faucet has been leaking out of the hot water side. It's model: 2538-SSMPU-DST. Would this be an indication of needing new springs & seats/gaskets?
Thank you for your question. The 2538-SSMPU-DST faucet uses RP60400 valve assembly and does not use seats and springs. Please contact us directly and we would be happy to help with your faucet issue.
