Rated 4 out of 5 by from Replacement Replaced same model that was 16 years old. Noticed some changes. Water comes out noisier. Replaced braided stainless steel hose with a rubber one. I hope it holds up as well as the previous one. The brushed nickel finish looks almost like stainless steel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to use and high quality. Plumber installing had to go get an extra part ($). The only thing we don't love is that the extended nozzle needs a real push to get back in the faucet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features I love my new faucet. Hands down, it makes daily cooking easy and was easy to install. I really appreciate the customer service I received with this product. Thank you

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not Satisfied and it's a Waste of Money. The faucet had a modern design. Unfortunately, when I installed the faucet I was surprised the way the Standard Flow of water was very "LOW". I do not know what's wrong with my new faucet.
Date published: 2026-01-25
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Ok for a while, but doesn't last Started out ok, but over time it didn't age well. The cartridge needs replaced repeatedly and only lasts maybe a year before it starts leaking again. The finish (as you can see in the photos) didn't last at all on the venetian bronze finish. The connection to the pull down sprayer is rusting.
Date published: 2026-01-08
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Doesn’t last long Needed a new cartridge after a year. Delta said they would only supply 1 for the life of the faucet. A year later the new one is failing and the screw to remove the handle to replace the $50 cartridge has seized so the faucet need to be replaced. Garbage.

Q&A

Model 9178DST

Does the screen come off so you can clean out the little flecks of rust?
Asked by: Kim
Hi Kim, Thank you for your question. The cache aerator on the wand of your model 9178-DST is removeable. The faucet shipped with a small blue t-shaped wrench that will help unscrew the aerator. If you do not have the wrench it can be orderd as RP50815. http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/rp50815.html Thanks, Dave

I have this faucet installed and working perfect for 10 years roughly Water flow is now weak and traced to the faucet Took aerator nozzle off but still weak Is it a failure of interior assembly or is there a 2nd screen in nozzle clog w/crud possible

Asked by: Patrick
Hello Patrick, Thank you for your question! We apologize for the inconveniences you are experiencing and will be happy to help you. Reduced flow from the Delta Faucet Leland Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet With Soap Dispenser In Stainless MODEL# 978-SSSD-DST is typically caused by the debris. If only one side is affected, there is debris in the supply line. To flush the supply line, first shut off the hot and cold-water supply. Remove the hot supply line from the shutoff valve and place the line into a bucket. Open the handle to the middle position, fully open, then turn the cold supply back on for one minute. The cold water should flow through the faucet and out the hot supply tube. Reconnect the supply line and turn on both supplies. Check flow from the faucet. If this does not help, please let us know. Thank you for being a loyal Delta Faucet customer. We look forward to continuing to serve you. Please feel free to contact us back for further assistance. Best Regards, Kelley

I have a model 978 faucet.  The valve assembly is loose and we can’t get it fully tightened.  Does it need to be replaced?  We also can’t see the part under the counter because the sink basin is in the way.

Asked by: Jenny

Is it possible to just buy the faucet lever. Not just the top lever to turn off and on the whole part. The top level and the whole body 

Asked by: Pascual Garrido

We need to fix the leaking faucet but the handle will not come off because the screw will not come out.  Is it possible to purchase the handle with all of the interior parts so we can just replace that entire section? Other options?
