Rated 4 out of 5 by from All good but noisy The faucet looks good and works fine except it is loud when the faucet is turned on. The sound of high-pitched water flow is much louder than any faucet I have ever used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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.

Q&A

Prices for Lahara centerset bathroom faucets, chrome and steel -- $176.95 or $157.50 or $240 something? Also, need a centerset faucet with valves to extend the shanks. Are there extenders for Lahara centerset? For the Everly centerset?

Asked by: Susan
Hi, Susan! Thank you for your question. At this time, our Delta Lahara 2538-MPU-DST and the Everly 25741LF Centerset Faucets do not have extension options. The maximum deck thickness for the 25741LF Faucet is 1 3/8" (35 mm). The maximum deck thickness for the 2538-MPU-DST is 2 1/4" (57 mm). Best Regards, Rosanna

can the water restrictor be removed

Asked by: CAROLE
Thank you for your question, Carole! Model 2538-MPU-DST does not contain a Flow Restrictor but does use a Cashe or "hidden" aerator which can be removed and swapped out for a higher flow rate if needed. We do not recommend leaving the aerator out of the spout as this is intended to help soften the stream and prevent splashing. https://media.deltafaucet.com/PartsDiagram/DPD-L-2538-DST%20Rev%20D.pdf Best regards, Edward
