Rated 1 out of 5 by from The worst faucet we have ever owned. Broken down multiple times. As we bought matching everything in our bathroom, I have no choice but to keep buying the parts and repair it. The parts are not cheap and every single one of them were replaced within two years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful and Functional I have purchased 4 of these faucets for my bathrooms. I've had 3 of them for more than a year now. I bought the 4th recently for another bathroom. They look great and work very well. I had all of them professionally installed by a plumber. They arrived super fast, within 24 hours after being ordered. They fit well with different decor styles and are easy to use and keep clean. Definitely would recommend this faucet. I'm very happy with it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not hygienic This faucet has a design flaw. You are supposed to tighten screws inside the handles with an L-shaped Allen key. But they didn’t provide anything to close the hole, so water enters inside the handles. It would not be hygienic as dirty standing water remains inside the levers.

I need to replace the cartridge in a Delta 3538-SSMPU-DST faucet. Is there a video available for this. Also is there a video on how to flush and reconnect the supply lines.

Asked by: Allen
The video provided by Tim is misleading, as it shows the replacement of a different stem cartridge rather than the Diamond 2-H Model: RP60400.

When I pull up the stopper handle, and even gently push down on the stopper itself, the sink will still slowly drain out and not hold water. Is there an adjustment I can make?

Asked by: Matthew
Thank you for your question, Matthew! Code permits that stoppers can leak no more than a gallon per hour with 6" of water in the bowl. The seal is provided by the weight of the water holding the rubber seal against the flange and the bowl must have at least 6" of water to provide adequate pressure. Please be sure this is not the issue occurring and if the leak persists, we would recommend checking that the required sealant was used on the flange which should be a uniform 1/4" round bead of sealant. Please contact us directly if you have questions or need further assistance. Best regards, Edward

Asked by: Jack
Hi, Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience. We are more than happy to help you.

If the lift rod pulls straight up, why does the spec sheet call for a minimum 2-1/2" clearance to backsplash?

I've seen this 2-1/2" minimum space requirement on other faucets, but that was because the lift rod on those faucets come out at an angle toward the backsplash. It looks like the lift rod on the Lahara pulls straight up (which several users have confirmed in various Q&A posts. I'd like to purchase the Lahara, but I'm not sure the maker of the cultured granite vanity top I have on order can accommodate the 2-1/2" requirement.
Asked by: bobertagain
Hi, Bobert! Thank you for your question. The backsplash clearance is to make sure you have enough room for both the installation above the sink and under the sink for this faucet. Best Regards, Rosanna

From experience how is the water spotting on the stainless model faucet. I wish I could find this faucet with the spot shield technology.

Asked by: tiredofspots
Hello! Thank you for your question. The 3538-SSMPU-DST is made with our Delta Brilliance Stainless Steel finish. This will not prevent water spots from happening on the faucet but the finish is easily cleaned by wiping down with a soft cloth.

Thank you for your question, Cali 01! The model 3538-MPU-DST may need a replacement valve assembly cartridges, part number RP60400, however older versions of the Lahara would have used the RP25513 stem unit assemblies in conjunctions with the RP4993 seats/springs and you will need to check the supply line to be sure it is DST which uses dark gray Pex lines as opposed to copper. https://media.deltafaucet.com/PartsDiagram/DPD-L-3538-MPU-DST.pdf https://media.deltafaucet.com/PartsDiagram/Model_3538_51331RevD.pdf Best regards, Edward

"Metal" pop up

I just bought this faucet. My plumber told me before I bought it, "just make sure it has a metal pop-up." Well, yes, there is metal for the part one sees in the sink, but the inside is all plastic. I bought this from a very well known big box store and it came in original Delta packaging. The model numbers matched, however, the inside of the pop-up is all plastic and cheap. My plumber went ahead and installed it, however, I am disappointed in the quality of the pop-up. Please let me know if the inside of the metal pop-up is supposed to be plastic or are different items with the same model numbers being sold at plumber's supply houses, this site, and at big box stores.
Asked by: Meg
Hi Meg, Thank you for your question. The drain assembly is metal. The stopper and the ball on the horizontal rode is non-metallic. Non-metallic parts are beneficial because they do not rust or corrode. Please know that all of our products are built to last and come with a Lifetime Limited Warranty. When comparing the same model number, products will be exactly the same regardless of where they are purchased. Best regards, Jon

Lahara faucet 3538-MPU-DST vs 3538-LF

Can you enlist all differences between the two Lahara 8 inch widespread faucet models? How does one choose between the 2 models?
Asked by: jt
Hi JT, Thank you for your question. The model 3538-LF and the 3538-MPU-DST will look the same from above the sink. The major difference is in the valves of the faucet itself. The 3538-LF uses the stem unit assembly, seats and springs to control the water flow, while the model 3538-MPU-DST uses our Diamond Seal Technology which uses a diamond coated ceramic cartridge to control the water flow. The water supply connections from the valves to the spout and from the valves to your water stops/shutoffs are also a difference between the 2 models. Thanks, Dave

Asked by: Irishence
Thank you for your question, Irishence! The Lahara aerator is removable but will require the wrench that was originally included with the model. This will depend on if you have the original non-DST model or the current DST version.
