Review on πŸ”§ Moen 96988 Cartridge Repair Kit: Enhancing Performance and Longevity by Travis Rio

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great idea, poor execution

This kit is used to replace all the inexpensive 'soft' parts of the Moen shower cartridge, saving a lot of money by reusing the more expensive 'hard' parts. that don't wear out. It seemed like a great idea to fix a leaking cartridge. Unfortunately, after replacing the O-rings when reassembling the cartridge, two of them broke. I had to reuse two old o-rings that turned out to be fine. The repairs worked, but they needed to include a few extra O-rings or make the process a little more reliable. It is very important to have a usable cartridge as it usually requires shutting off the water supply to the entire home until the repair is complete. If I couldn't reuse some of the old parts I would have to run to the local hardware store to buy a new full cartridge because I couldn't turn the house water back on until the system was properly assembled (and this kit wasn't there). ). If you want to use this repair, do it yourself. Do a favor and get 2 or 3 if you need extra parts and return what you don't use. Also send back defective parts, you only need to pay for one set even if you have to use parts of three.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Something different
