Review on ๐Ÿšฟ Pfister LF 049 JDGS Bathroom Defense Brushed Chrome by Mark Raj

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy install, nice quiet flow and very clean look on the countertop (despite my issue)

Bought a pair of these to replace 2 dripping Deltas in the bathroom (both broke within a few weeks each other). These are SOLID mixers above and solid polymer compounds below. The open top is not a problem - it drains well and runs VERY quietly. The old ones had the whistle of a garden hose, while without the sound of a faucet they sounded like a small babbling brook. Spas should use these as they are VERY clean and minimalistic. Installation was very easy. The hardest part was removing the old faucet/drain. In fact, the old P-trap closed again. I don't mind using stocks. I rarely use it, and when I do it's usually just soapy water. Disadvantage: FORM BOTH handles on BOTH faucets when rotated. Noisy. Like someone shuffling around in rubber overalls. When I contacted Pfister I received 4 new cartridges but while they were on the way I removed the pen caps and checked them and they were the source of the squeak not the cartridges. Even with lube. It looks like the o-ring was not lubricated from the factory. 4 new descriptors will arrive tomorrow and I will update them as they work. TO UPDATE

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Hard to say
