Overall it’s been a great faucet. The water drips a little so you have to push a little harder to turn the water off fully. The hose isn’t quite as flexible as I thought it would be.

Not as functional as I had hoped but nicely constructed.
The design is beautiful but not as functional as I had hoped. The spring is a little misleading as there is not much play or flexibility with it. The three setting for water are regular faucet flow, then the spray which has two spray jets on either side and nothing in the middle, then the stream with swirly water around it (not very sure what the deal is with it either ). I’m kind of wishing I had gone with the pull down one from moen that I had before. Its nice, though.

Q&A
Our faucet was installed in Oct. and worked great. Now the flow has decreased. (Minerals in our water?) Is there a way to take the facuet appart so that we can clean it and improve the flow rate? Do you have a video that shows how to do that?
Hello Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company!
The wand on our 18804Z-DST can be removed by rotating it counterclockwise. Please make sure to hold on to the hose while you rotate the wand.
We appreciate your inquiry. Please reach out directly if you have further questions!

The magnetic docking clip on mine is loose. How do I tighten it?
Hi Fred,
Thanks for your question regarding 18804Z-RB-DST!
The magnet snaps into the spout body, clean the area with 50/50 white vinegar and water and verify the clip is snapped into the underside of the spout.

Thank you for replying but you did not READ my request. I asked for the measurement from the counter to where the handle starts. NOT the top of the handle. THAT I could have found on your spec sheet. Soap dispenser too close to faucet. Needs to be higher.

The measurement for the Delta Faucet Theodora™ Single-Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet With ShieldSpray® Technology In Chrome MODEL#: 18804Z-DST from the counter to bottom of the handle would be about 4.5".

I’m trying to replace the spray head to a model that looks similar to the Theodora 188042 DST. I like to determine if the parts are compatible. Is it possible to send a photo for verification? Thank you.
Also, in the install instructions you show a wrench (labeled #6) for the mounting nut. Does that come w/ the faucet? If not any suggestions? It would really help in the tight space behind the sink.

My theodora faucet is losing pressure. How do I take it apart to clean the screen and relief valve
Hi dazy71461,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet model 18804Z-DST. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. We are happy to help!
To clean the sprayer and aerator, we recommend soaking the sprayer in 50/50 white vinegar and water, then rinsing.
Because your sprayer has been factory assembled to the hose, we do not recommend removing it to flush the lines. Instead, if possible, we recommend placing a bucket below the outlet fitting, removing the clip with the water off, and turning on the water to flush the faucet. See the faucet manual for more information:
