Disappointed from
The quality of this faucet is terrible.
We have changed the battery at least 6 times in the last 18 months and now it's just not working at all. Not worth the trouble to have the touch activation or sensor if they don't work properly. Very frustrated customer.

Beautiful but...
I absolutely love the look of this but less than two months in, it started intermittently leaking from the spray nozzle. I've cleaned the nozzle numerous times and tried everything to get it to stop to no avail. VERY disappointing. I did not expect this so early in it's lifetime and it is not returnable.

Overengineered.
The solenoid ("brain") failed and had to be replaced within the first 3 months after installation. Delta sent a new solenoid which seemed to work fine. However, two years later, it is again malfunctioning. If you turn on the faucet, it randomly turns itself off without being touched. It is very annoying and I'd just as soon have a traditional faucet that works with the handle for on & off. No more of the touch on & off. The six batteries need to be replaced about every four months; expensive and also very annoying.
The spray feature works very well.

Q&A
Does the Trinsic Faucet swivel or is it fixed?
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 9959T-DST swivels 360 degrees.
Date published: 2024-03-28
Does the hose automatically retract?
Yes, and the magnetic seat keeps the head in place, every time.
Date published: 2024-03-28
Can I just use it without the Touch20?
Can I just use the tap manually if I don't put in the batteries? Will it work?
Hi suan25,
Thank you for your question! The faucet can be operated manually by disconnecting the battery box while the water is running. It will remain in manual mode until you reconnect the batteries. Another method is to remove the solenoid assembly and connect the hose directly to the faucet under the sink.
Best regards,
Jon

where are batteries located and do I change them when needed
Thank you for your question, Libby! The batteries will need to be changed when the faucet displays a flashing red light. The battery box can be found below the counter and will need to be placed at least two inches away from any metallic or electronic.
Best regards, Edward

Does this faucet come with check valves?
Hi, Dugfresh!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 9159T-AR-DST Faucet does include the RP53468 Check Valves.

Can the handle be switched to the left side?
Hi JC,
Thank you for your question. The faucet is only designed for the handle to be installed on the right side due to the rotation of the handle and the position of the light at the base.

I've had this faucet for about six months. In the past week, every time I turn the faucet on or off the TempSense light blinks red three times. What does this mean?
Hello, BenH. Thank you for your question! The light will flash red 3 times when the faucet is turned on or off if the batteries are low. We recommend installing a brand new set of non-rechargeable, Duracell or Energizer batteries. Please refer to page 16 of the Instructions for more information:

I see you answered the question about it turning on by itself, but you didn’t answer why it does this. I’ve had mine for several years and this just started happening more, so I changed batteries, but still does this sometimes
Hi, Donna!
Thank you for your question. Ghosting from your Touch 2O Faucet can most likely be resolved by adjusting the installation below the sink.
Please make sure that no wires are touching metal objects or other wires, and that the battery box is placed on the floor of the cabinet, 2 inches from the sides. Please try unplugging the black LED wire (looks like a headphone jack) and plugging it back in until it clicks. Next, reset the solenoid by removing the cap from the battery box for one minute and reconnecting it. Please also be sure to use a new set of brand name, non-rechargeable batteries. Please feel free to call, email, or message us on social.

Is it possible to turn the touch feature off so it operates like a normal faucet?
Hi, Newton123!
Thank you for your question. The Delta 9159-DST Faucet can be operated manually without the Touch2O Function. For manual operation, first turn the handle to the 'off' position. Under the sink, make sure you have a bucket and towels ready for any excess water coming out. Remove the two blue clips on the top and bottom of the solenoid assemblies. Remove the water lines from the top and bottom of the solenoid. Remove the solenoid assembly entirely. Connect the two water lines together and secure with one of the blue clips. Turn the handle to the 'on' position to test.
Best Regards, Rosanna

Can the handle be mounted on the LEFT
I currently have a kitchen faucet with a detached handle mounted in a hole 4" to the right of the faucet. I'm looking to replace this setup with a single handle kitchen faucet that will let me mount the handle on the LEFT side so I can use the existing hole 4" on the right for a filtered water dispenser. Questions: 1) Will this faucet let me mount the handle on the left? 2) Is there anything related to mounting the faucet that will interfere with my re-use of the hole 4" to the right of the faucet?
Hi Dr. Horse Jumper,
Thank you for your question. The faucet is designed for the handle to be installed on the right. Unfortunately, installing it on the left will cause the handle to rotate backwards, and the LED light will not be visible.
Best regards,
Jon

My faucet won't turn completely off when using the touch feature. How can this be fixed?
The touch feature works fine when turning on the faucet. But, last week the faucet continues to allow a small stream of water when I use the touch feature. It's more than just a drip. It will turn completely off when I use the handle. The faucet is about 1 year old.
Hi, Jeff.
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry that you are experiencing a leak from your faucet. Leaking from the faucet in the touch off mode comes from debris inside the solenoid. You may flush the solenoid by following these next steps.
1. Turn the water supply by putting your handle in the manual off position.
2. Disconnect the sprayer hose by removing the blue retaining clip.
3. Place a bucket under the male adapter coming out from the solenoid.
4. Run water into the bucket for 2-3 minutes. Debris located inside the solenoid should be flushed out after completing these steps.
Best Regards,
Rosanna

How do you change the batteries?
Hi Ren,
Thank you for your question! The battery box is designed to be placed on the floor of the cabinet. To replace the batteries, squeeze the tabs on the sides of the cap and pull the cap off. Install the new batteries in the direction indicated on the outside of the box, then press the cap back on until it clicks into place. It will accept 6 AA batteries using the insert or 6 C batteries.

Can I disable the "auto off" feature?
Our sink which has the Delta Faucet is located on an outside wall. As the temperatures plummet this winter, we would like to leave this Faucet on a slow drip overnight. The StartUp Guide has no information on how we might temporarily disable the "auto off" feature so that we can keep water moving through the pipes during periods of frigid temperatures.
Hi CFaivre,
Thank you for your question. The auto shut off is a safety feature of our touch faucets. To turn off the auto shut-off, you would need to fully remove the solenoid assembly.
Best regards,
Tanya

Hi we installed the faucet in June. The red light is flashing and the water isn’t coming out. How can we fix this?
Thank you for your question, Robin! I do apologize that you are not getting water, but will be more than happy to help! A flashing red light, would indicate low batteries. You should be able to get water back, once new batteries are installed. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us directly.

I recently purchased a condo that has a model 9159T faucet. The water here has some sediment and the flow seems to be restricted. Can the end piece be taken apart for cleaning? Is soaking it in a vinegar/water solution the only way to clean the head?
Hi, Mike!
Thank you for your question. The sprayer assembly for the Delta 9159T-DST faucet can be removed from the hose assembly to be soaked in a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% water mix. This can be soaked for an hour or even overnight to clean any debris that may cause the flow issue.

How do I clean the screen at the end of my Trinsic faucet?
Why don't you post a maintenance manual on your website? With my old faucet, it was easy to unscrew the end of the faucet to clean out any particles/junk that were impeding the water flow. I need to do this with this faucet, but the construction of the faucet is very different and a visual guide would be helpful.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Hi Katie,
Thank you for your question. Please refer to page 51 of the instructions linked below for help. To clean the screen, unscrew the wand assembly from the hose. We recommend to soak the wand in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water for about 15 minutes and then rinse and wipe it off to help remove mineral buildup.

Cleaning. Mineral build up
I have this trinsic kitchen faucet in champagne bronze. The end of the faucet on the bronze finish is starting to develop mineral build up. What should I clean this with? I have had this product for one year. Thank you.
Hi, Meghan,
Thank you for your question. We recommend to clean with 50% white vinegar and 50% water solution mix. Here is more suggestions from our FAQ:
Always blot dry any water from 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 thoroughly with water afterward.
If additional cleaning is required, all of our finishes may be cleaned with the following household cleaners: Formula 409® Antibacterial All Purpose Cleaner, Fantastik® All Purpose Cleaner, or Windex® Original Glass Cleaner, when used according to the manufacturers' instructions for use.
Avoid using the following which can damage your finish:
Avoid industrial cleaners and abrasive cleaners, such as those used for toilet bowls, green Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges, Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and Lysol Basin Tub, Soft Scrub, and Tile Cleaner.
Avoid products that state on the label that they remove tarnish and rust, and those containing hydrofluoric, hydrochloric and/or phosphoric acids and caustic agents.
Avoid harsh abrasives or polishes
Avoid bleach-based cleaners

Can this faucet be placed in permanent bypass mode? Looking to eliminate the tap mode
Hi, sttarks.
Thank you for your question. The Delta 9959T-AR-DST faucet touch function can be manually bypassed. To do this, first turn the water off at your water supply for your faucet. Under the sink, you will see the solenoid assembly with two water lines coming from the bottom and top of the solenoid. These are connected with two blue clips. Remove the two clips to remove the whole solenoid assembly. Connect the two lines together and secure this connection with one of the blue clips. Pull the connection to make sure the connection is tightly secured. Please contact us back if you should need further assistance.

When my kitchen faucet with touch technology gets wet, it works erratic. Is there anything I can do, so this doesn’t happen?
Hi, Ricardo.
Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing erratic issues with your Delta faucet. We do recommend to wipe the faucet down after each use. Here is a list of do's and don't's for touch faucets:
Must Do or significant degradation in touch responsiveness is likely:
• Use the stabilization plate provided with the faucet (it is an insulator, which helps the faucet recognize the signal better)
• Use all other insulators provided with the faucet (exception: spout insulator cannot be used with thin-mounting surfaces)
• Make sure the metal mounting shank is at least ½” from the sink bowl or other metal objects (e.g., sink clips, metallic hoses, house wiring, etc.)
• Separate the black wire with the stereo plug as much as possible from the other wires
Should Do or some degradation in touch responsiveness is possible:
• Place battery pack as close to the floor of cabinet as possible (flat on cabinet floor for best results)
• Maintain a 2” clearance around battery pack (excluding cabinet itself)
• Route faucet wires away from all hoses and supply lines to prevent contact
• Avoid placing household objects (sponges, soaps, decorations, etc.) within 2” of faucet
Must NOT Do or significant degradation in touch responsiveness is likely:
• Modify the supplied parts (exception is stabilizer plate—it may be cut for non-standard hole spacing)
• Use power adaptor in lieu of supplied battery pack
• Bundle wires together
Should NOT Do or some degradation in touch responsiveness is possible:
• **Connect faucet or battery pack to an earth ground (e.g., house wiring or water lines)
• Install faucet on metal counter top (metal sinks are fine)
• Install faucet within 4” of a metal backsplash behind faucet
• Wrap wires around drains

My faucet water flow has slowed to a trickle. How do I fix this?
Hi, Anna!
Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing low flow from your Delta faucet. We recommend to flush the lines and clean the debris screen at your solenoid assembly under the sink. To flush the lines, make sure your handle is in the 'off' position. Disconnect the top hose from your solenoid assembly and point it into a bucket. Turn on the water from your handle and let the water flow through the open hose into the bucket. Does it have adequate flow? Since the hose is disconnected, this is a good time to take the debris screen out of the solenoid. The debris screen is located in the opening of the solenoid where the hose was connected into. Take a pair of needle nose pliers and pull the small debris screen out. Clean the debris screen by rinsing it in running water at another faucet in your home since your kitchen faucet will be disconnected. Install it back into the solenoid and connect everything back up. Turn the handle in the off position. Disconnect the hose from the bottom of the solenoid. Point the whole solenoid into the bucket. Turn the handle in the 'on' position. Flush the solenoid through.
If this does not fix the flow issue, please contact our Delta Customer Service line at (800)345-3358. We are available Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm, CST and Saturday, 8am-5pm, CST. You may also email at customerservice@deltafaucet.com.
