Review on iSpring GA1-BN Lead-Free Reverse Osmosis Faucet, Heavy Duty 🚰 Water Filtration System for RO Drinking Water, Brushed Nickel Finish by Jason Childs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Had trouble installing above 1+1/4 " sink hole

Wanted to provide feedback. I just installed this faucet today and so far I'm not liking it. Appearance is ok. But there is room for improvement which should only add a few pennies to the cost 1) includes a 1+1/2" metal washer - for a better fit in large sink holes 2) includes a tapered plastic washer - to help keep the faucet centered when running will be installed on a large sink holes .3) have a shorter faucet stem, same arc as the current model but only shorter - to allow the main sink faucet to pivot over the reverse osmosis faucet currently these two faucets are in the way. I use a standard 3 hole stainless steel sink but the main faucet has been upgraded to only use 2 holes. My reverse osmosis faucet uses a third hole. An 8" stem instead of an 11" stem will work. My main problem is 1) when the faucet stem is rotated to the side, the base (with the lever) also rotates (annoying). Tightening the lock nut under the sink did not solve the problem. Main reason: The hole in my sink was large (1 + 1/4β€³ diameter), the lock washer wasn't squeezing the sink well enough to hold the base in place. SOLUTION: I took a metal split washer from an old faucet and re-tightened it between the lock washer and the sink under the countertop. This added more rigidity and keeps the base in place for now. If it works I will increase the star rating.
