Beautiful Faucet
We love our Delta faucet! The pull down hose works so well and moves smoothly. The three water spray choices work great for different needs. It looks so pretty with our new sink and counter tops!

I purchased this faucet about a week ago, very easy to install the only thing my husband did was hold the faucet in place while I tighten from below! Love the final result and how it looks in my newly repainted kitchen!

This has been installed about a week now. We love the pull down head. We really enjoy the use of the 3 water spray settings. Very easy to use.

Nice looking
I just had this installed 2 weeks ago along with a new Ruvati sink. It is a huge improvement over the cheap old stuff that was here.
The handle moves smoothly but if you aren’t paying close attention, the faucet will not turn off all the way. You have to be careful to get the handle into a correct position to fully turn off the water flow.
The 3 different spray modes come in handy and the reach 20” of the sprayer hose is fantastic. The hose does not return to the base without pushing it back and clicking it into place.
The finish is beautiful, a brushed aluminum I think.

I did my research and wanted a faucet for my kitchen that wasn't fancy but extremely functional and good looking. I hit paydirt! Been using it now for almost a month and couldn't be happier.

Great features
I bought this faucet a couple weeks ago and really like that when I rinse my dishes water doesn't splash on my counter top nor my back splash like my old one did. I also like that the handle turns on from side and from front to back like my old one. So far I'm very satisfied.

Easy Install, looks and works great!
We purchased our Delta faucet to replace our 10 year old faucet. The install took about 20 mmiutes, very easy and solid connections. My wife loves the sheild spray function as it stops the splashing on the counter top and the jet spray rinses very well. We are very happy with this product.

Great features and easy to use
We bought this and had it professionally installed. The plumber said it was easy to install. I love the height above the sink and the rotation of the faucet. You do have to be careful not to over rotate it as it has a 365 degree rotation. Because of the height and maneuverability of the faucet, I easily clean my crock pot and dutch oven pot. I still haven't decided what I think of the splash accessory, but the sprayer is great. It looks very nice and is easy to use. It has been installed for 3 weeks.

Delta has always been great.
Delta has always sent me replacement shower heads, cartridges and parts under the warranty. They have always been pleasant about “giving away the profits”. This is the reason I have purchased a new Delta kitchen faucet when the cartridge they sent me couldn’t fix my leak because of chunky water.

Great Water flow
We bought this. There are so many brands and models out there at many price points. We wanted a pull down. We have replaced two faucets in the 10 years we have owned our house. So we went with this model $180.00. We wanted water volume and we got it with this model. Glad we chose Delta.

How can I change the water pressure of this faucet?
Thank you for your question, blee72! The water flow on model 19978Z-SS-DST, is adjusted at the on/off handle. The spray pattern can be adjusted at the black button on the wand assembly.
