Low pressure
Installed 3/20. First time turned on the pressure was low. Called the seller who couldn’t give me a suggestion on howto fix the problem. Seller called back two hours later. Explained the faucet used two different size aerator. Suggested buying larger size aerator kit, price was $32.00 got aerator. Kit includes aerator and special wrench, which is plastic wing it with teeth to grip the screen. I complained that I had the wrench came with the faucet. Sorry, this was a kit that couldn’t be separated.
Called Delta, explained problem and Spencer took my shipping info and is on the way, free of charge.
If the aerator does’t cure the problem, contact Delta as something could be in the valve.
Seller has no return policy, I guess we are even because I won’t return.

Speyer Faucet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Customer asked for contemporary faucet with single handle and soft lines. The polished nickel finish is warm and lustrous. Volume and temperature control easy and accurate.

Very petty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the handle bc so easy to use. I don’t have to reach across the sink while brushing my teeth which is an attractive feature. You don’t have to wipe around multiple knobs. Huge plus.
Iwish it extended out further into the sink. I always wondered why they are all made like that. Plenty of room to wash hands though.

Low flow
We bought two Delta 552LF-MPU faucets. We liked the modern single handle design but found that the water coming from the faucet had two problems. First, the outlet hole is not angled forward like some other faucets so the water comes straight down. More importantly, there is no aerator which makes the already low-flow seem even weaker. There is one other item which is the nickel finish which is very warm looking and unlike other nickel or even stainless steel finishes.

Looks great but......
It’s a beautiful faucet that goes with traditional and modern design. We had an issue with the flow (airator) and delta was very good about sending a replacement one. However, it does not extend enough into the sink thus splashes water when you put your hands. Otherwise it’s a great look to our modern bathroom and now flows great.

Seems to run slow
Love the looks, but it takes 3 minutes instead of two minutes on my old faucet to get more than warm water. A bit frustrating.

Q&A
This says it has a pop up metal drain. Is this the kind that you push down in the basin to close and then push down again to release? So there is no lever behind the faucet to pull up or down?
Hi, BHCO!
Thank you for your question. The Metal Pop Up Drain Assembly for the Delta 552LF-PNMPU Faucet operates with a lift rod on the back of the spout that is hidden.
Best Regards, Rosanna

How do you remove the pop up drain to clean out the drain?
Hi Jill! Thank you for your question! In order to clean the drain you must first go under the sink and release the horizontal rod from the strap and screw. You can then remove the horizontal rod that goes through the hole in the bottom of the stopper. Once released the stopper can be lifted out of the sink allowing you to clean anything off the stopper. After that you will need to unthread the nut that secures the bottom of the drain to the P-trap. The body of the drain can then be unthreaded from the flange that is secured to the sink. Please feel free to contact us directly if further assistance is needed!
Best Regards, Tim

Have their been complaints of dirt and/or residue getting in the handle joint? Also, how do you recommend keeping that clean and functioning well?
Hi, Dawn! Thank you for your question. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to the build up of mineral deposits, and we recommend blotting the faucet dry after use to prevent this from
happening . However, water spots and fingerprints can be easily cleaned by wiping the finish with a damp cloth. If additional cleaning is needed, we recommend using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
Best regards,
Themar

Water leaves marks and stains all over this faucet. We have the stainless steel version. Love the look, but hate that it never looks clean. We have very soft water (tested). What can we do to help with this?
Hello BMW85,
Thank you for contacting us, I would be happy to help you.
Always blot dry any water from the faucet surface. Allowing water to evaporate on the surface can lead to build up of mineral deposits. Cleaning with a damp non-abrasive sponge and buffing it dry with a clean soft cloth should help keep your product looking beautiful. To remove water spots, use warm water and a soft, damp cloth. Hard water stains may be removed using a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Make certain that you rinse the surface thoroughly with water afterward.
Please contact us back if you have any questions or need further assistance.
Best Regards,
Nicole
