Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this new faucet Got this new faucet installed shortly before the holidays... and we've been loving it ever since. Great water pressure, and we really enjoy the spray options. We needed a replacement as the older faucet was starting to clog up. This Delta faucet has been the perfect fit for our needs and performs really well. Highly recommend.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Leaks after 2 years Hi I bought this faucet 2 years ago thinking because of the price it was going to last, however not 2 years later, the faucet is nearly impossible to turn off and is always dripping or streaming

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor instructions...still mopping up Sprayer connection is flimsy. No positive lock. Has a cripple bracket that pops on exterior to hold it together. It has popped off twice soaking my cabinet. Poor design. Tempted to put the original faucet back on. Directions are the worst.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Happy, after a bad start I had a professional install the faucet. We were very pleased until day 5 when we found water coming out from under the kitchen sink cabinet onto the floor. I looked under the sink & saw water spraying from the pull down hose connection to the water supply hose. Fortunately, it only leaked when the faucet was turned on. I called the plumber back & he found that the plastic connector on the hose was fractured. This was on Saturday. On Monday, I called Delta customer service & the representative readily agreed to send a replacement hose which I received a week later. Meanwhile we had to "go to the creek" so to speak, to handle our kitchen water needs for 10 days. Plumber replaced hose & now all is well. We like all the features & especially the "spot shield technology". Thanks for the prompt customer service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Truly a Lifetime Warranty We bought a pull down kitchen faucet when we built our new house in 2015. It began to leak, and I contacted Customer Service for help. After several attempts to fix the leak with parts sent by Delta, it was determined that it was not fixable, and Delta sent us a brand new replacement faucet.

Q&A

This picture shows that it toggles to spray, so just making sure it does?

Asked by: Lorrie
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 9978-DST does switch from spray to stream.

I would like to take off the faucet head because it has begun to spray - I assume build up is inside the head. I see the little piece you can push in but it doesn't want to come apart from the hose easily. Is there a trick to take the head off?

Asked by: Christy
Hello Chritsy, Thank you for your inquiry! The wand/sprayer assembly of the Delta Leland Pull-Down Kitchen 978-AR-DST faucet, an be remove by simply unscrewing it from the end of the hose assembly. This should be done by hand only. Best regards, Tanya

The spec indicates a min clearance of 2.5 inches from center of hole for faucet to backsplash. I only have 2 inches.  Why is 2.5 inches needed since the handle goes forward and not back? Will 2 inches work? 

Asked by: Bridget
Thank you for your question, Bridget! The minimum clearance to the back splash is typically suggested for lavatory models with lift rods or for models where the handle does reach backwards. This is still suggested for maximum comfort and ease of use with the handle; however this model can still work with only 2". Best regards, Edward

I see where you have answered the question about the difference between Model 9178 and 9678. What is the difference between those and Model 19978?

Asked by: Kathy61
Hello Kathy 61, Thank you for your question. The Delta Leland Pull-Down 19978-SS-DST faucet is a Home Depot exclusive model and it is similar to the Leland 9178-AR-DST faucet. However, the 9178-AR-DST is designed with the ShieldSpray feature and the 19978-SS-DST model is not. https://media.deltafaucet.com/SpecSheet/DSP-K-19978-SD-DST%20Rev%20C.pdf Best regards, Tanya

What is the tubing for the pull-out spray made of? I am concerned about the materials as the drinking water is now being consumed from this spray.

Does arctic stainless water spot?

Asked by: Melody
Hi, Melody! Thank you for your question. The 9178-AR-DST Arctic Stainless will show water spots. We recommend to wipe clean with a soft towel. If you should need something stronger, we recommend 50% white vinegar and 50% water solution to clean. Best Regards, Rosanna
