I love the Touch 20 feature!
We've had our faucet installed 2 weeks now, and I love it! I love the Touch feature. When someone doesn't use the touch feature, then it messes you up the next time you want it on, so you need to train everyone in the house! I also like the pull down sprayer and how it clips back in so well. I am very happy with my purchase!

Average At Best
We have had trouble with the faucet coming loose from the counter, the cartridge in the handle sticks making it difficult to use & the shut off area is so tight that it takes a bit to make sure its not dripping.
I gave it 3 stars for excellent customer service follow up trying to help fix the issues. Faucet itself is more like 2 stars.

A dripping pull down faucet head was the culprit. Called Delta Faucet and I got the part,...free of charge as Delta has a lifetime warranty!

Wonderful finish and easy to install.
Installed this unit about two weeks ago and I consider myself a novice plumber ( Like, I know how to turn the water on and off ). The one issue I had to figure out was after flushing the lines I had very low water flow on the "Hot" side. I ended up watching a youtube video and learned how to take the unit handle apart. I found what I'll describe as small black rubber chunks lodged in the hot water side. I used a toothpick to pry them out ( about 5-6 of them) and put the handle back together. The water pressure is perfect. I chose this faucet because it has a 9" reach and the head is angled at about a 35 degree angle instead of shooting straight down. This specifically was what we wanted for our farm style sink.

Be sure to measure
Bought this product for kitchen but it doesn't extend far enough over the sink so there is water splashed against the back splash, counter top and window sill every time it's turned on. Be sure to take that measurement!!

Hot/Cold control
When using the faucet at low flow it is next to impossible to adjust the handle to a position that provides warm water. The setting between scalding hot and cold is negligible. I’ve marked the valve body with an adjacent mark on the handle in what should be a neutral position. In this position at one point the water is cold, and in a second use the water is scalding.

Stuck in both streams
Spray always stuck in both stream and spray. Cleaned it with white vinegar and water as recommended. Still stuck in both stream no matter what button is selected. The cost to replace this AND my faulty cartridge is ridiculous!

Beautiful, but hard to turn off
My wife loves the look of her new oil rubbed bronze finished faucet. I really like the all brass construction, especially at this price point. What neither of us like is how you must be very precise in placing the handle in the exact position to turn off the water completely. We’re constantly finding the water dripping and have to again hunt for the sweet spot off position.

Love it!
We installed our faucet about 3 weeks ago. We love the faucet so far. I have a few quirks about it but nothing major. First, when i was installing it, there is small plastic tabs that go under it. Well trying to line up the faucet, i broke one of the tabs. They don't seem important but it did break. So if your installing yours be careful. the other thing is when you have the handle set to hot, it comes out slower than if its in the center position. If you try to get more pressure, you end up taking it out of the most hot position. Not a deal breaker for me. I haven't really used the shield spray that is on it. I don't really think it will work like they say but i cannot really comment on it. I do like the 2 different spray choices that i have though. Overall i think that this is a great faucet for the price. I hope that it will last a long time.

Quality Product!
The installation was pretty easy. I had to go back and reread the directions a few times, as I was not sure that the faucet should sit directly on the granite countertop, or if I should use the trim piece. It seems to work fine either way.

Q&A
Model 978-DST. Cannot remove the bonnet to replace the cartridge..Used suggested 1 5/16 socket. Cannot break it loose from the base. Some help please. Thanks.
Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to help you.
We recommend wrapping a cloth soaked in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water around the bonnet. This will help break up the mineral buildup in the threads. If additional assistance is required you may wish to contact a plumber.
Please reach out with further questions!
Best Regards,
Tim

faucet handle spins all the way around
I attempted to adjust this faucet handle as it was causing the faucet to leak somewhat. when i removed the set screw holding the faucet on and then retightened the scew the faucet handle now feels loose and spins 360 degrees. im looking to get this repaired but im not sure if i need a new handle or if it is the cartridge the handle goes onto that needs to be replaced.
Hi jasimek, Thank you for your question. It sounds like either the set screw is not tight enough, or the screw is not in contact with the stem portion of the dst cartridge. Make sure the cartridge is seated properly, and that the bonnet and sleeve assembly are tightened correctly. The handle set screw should attach to the cartridge stem on the flat portion of the stem preventing the handle from spinning. I have attached a link to the parts breakdown for the model 978-DST to help you with your repair.
Thanks,
Dave

I know the pull-down sprayer will cover 360 degrees; but, does the spout rotate?
Hi Bill,
Thank you for your question. The spout itself will rotate 360 degrees.

I have a Delta 978-DST kitchen faucet and the handle is getting worn out. I don't have the small allen wrench it appears I would need to replace the worn parts in the handle. Do you have this tool?
Hello Robato,
Thank you for your question. On the lever handle, of your Delta Leland Pull-Down Kitchen 978-DST model, you should find a small hex screw that can be loosened with a 1/8" Allen wrench. Allen wrenches can be purchase from any of your local plumbing and hardware stores. Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social if you have any further questions.
Best regards,
Tanya

Really 2.5" min clearance to backsplash (4" high)? Want to replace a Moen Aberdeen with your Leland 978-DST. The Moen fits fine with 2" clearance from faucet midpoint to backsplash. Why can't I use 978-DST with same 2" center to backsplash clearance?
Hi, KevinK!
Thank you for your question. We recommend the 2.5" clearance to backsplash for the 978-DST so that everything fits on the top of the sink as well as underneath the sink.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

what size garden hose aerator adapter should i buy? i need to hook an aquarium garden hose to the faucet head. 13/16 does not fit. its too small.
Hello tanya101!
Thank you for your question. We only offer one aerator adapter, RP51505. This adapter converts 21.5X 1-6 g metric thread to 55/64”-27 standard thread. Your aerator, RP50815 has M21.5 threads, however care should be taken as we have not tested and do not recommend using this adapter with the pullout or pulldown spray wands.

The magnetic head and spray hose. Is this supposed to retract completely on its own? New installation, everything ok. Hose retracts to plastic spray head. I have to push head into faucet to seal. Thank you.
Thank you for your question, Icecap8! The Delta MagnaTite Technology is only meant to help guide and keep your wand docked when not in use. The hose weight will also help this retract when not in use.
