Pfister is the worst!
This is the second pfister faucet that I purchased and both have leaked from the lever. Granted it has lifetime warranty but for this to happen in such a short period (4 months) is kinda crappy if you ask me.

Hello JoseNunez,

We can help. It sounds like the cartridge would need to be replaced to correct the leak from the handle. It could also be the retainer ring on the cartridge that may have loosened up and needs to be retightened. Please give our Support Team a call at 1-800-732-8238 so we can help you with the necessary parts at no cost to you under your product's warranty. Pfister's Limited Lifetime warranty covers the finish and function to the original purchaser of the product. We hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you,
Pfister Pfister
    Design flaw
    We bought 2 of these faucets a few weeks ago and thought they looked really nice but I wasn't expecting that when the water is turned off, water would pool in the spout channel and sits there. In the week that they've been installed, this has already caused ugly water spots to form which I've cleaned off several times. I reached out to Pfister customer, explained the problem and sent pictures. Someone responded to say that this type of faucet requires regular maintanence and went on the tell me how to clean them and also offered a website for more cleaning information. What I was not given was a way to keep the channel free of water when turned off which is what I asked. It seems to me that the spout should be angled downward to allow all the water to drain. I'm not happy with the purchase and obviously would not recommend or purchase again.

      Gets ugly fast
      It functions fine, but it starts to get ugly quickly. We have a water softener, but it still has hard water stains that I just can't get off. I've rubbed oil on it, scrubbed it...it just looks bad.

      Hi Summer,

      We have some recommended do's and don'ts that will help remove some of the stains or calcium build-up and care for the finish of your Pfister faucet:

      DO:
      1. Wipe water from fixtures to avoid spotting and build-up after each use.
      2. Use only a soft, damp cloth and soft soap (i.e., Palmolive, Dawn) to clean the unit.
      3. A 50/50 water and white vinegar solution can be used to clean the faucets (see additional information below).

      DON'T:
      1. Use any cleaners of any type on your faucet.
      2. Use any scrubbers or abrasive-type cleaning cloths.
      3. Allow water to dry on fixtures, as it may cause unsightly spotting.

      For tougher water spotting or calcium build-up, we recommend using water and vinegar mixed by 50%. If these steps do not help or you have any questions, concerns, or need further assistance, please get in touch with our Support Team at 1-800-732-8238.

      Thank you,
      Pfister Pfister

          Leaking underneath the handle
          It hadn't been a month that this had been installed when my children noticed the sitting water that leaks from underneath the handle. I came here for possible answers and learned that it has happened quite often. Why hasn't Pfister fixed this?

            COMPLIMENTS GALORE!
            I received an email inviting me to review our new Pfister faucet but then received the "title is too long" prompt and couldn't submit it. (there was no title). We have received a compliment from every guest that has used our guest bathroom. Aesthetically, it suits our bathroom perfectly. Our handyman installed the faucet and he had no issues. Nostalgic, because of the way the water spills out, it reminds me of my family member's farms that had hand-pumps on their wells. Because we are so infatuated with the Tuscan Bronze color, we are switching out not only the bathroom fixtures but also the door handles along the hallway. The drain cover is also convenient, simply put, everything about this faucet is lovely.

              I was skeptical about this faucet. Almost changed my mind. So glad I didn’t. It awesome. Bert east to install for the grandmother that I am. The pop up drain was a big selling point for me. Highly recommend this purchase to any one upgrading.

                These remind me of a high-end hotel or spa. My handyman was able to put them in in less than 30 minutes. I love them!

                  Beautiful(or is it??)
                  This was the first purchase I made for our new(100 yrs)home. While I love the look of this faucet(flat black/chrome),Im not too sure of its performance for the price paid. I was treating myself with such an extravagance(to me anyways) and ended up dissapointed. After about 1 week it began leaking from under the handle(while I found this to be a major problem,my cats love it!). If you live in a hard water area,I would definately not get flat black(if I only knew~now I must rethink my design for this bathroom). The faucet has been installed a little over a year now,when I looked on Pfister’s website,it seems there are a lot if people commenting on the Brea faucet leaking(again,if only I knew). Im hoping replacing the carteridge will fix the leak,if not this will be one of my more expensive mistakes.

                  Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding your Brea faucet. We'd like to go through some troubleshooting to help fix the problem you described with the handle leak.

As the original purchaser, your faucet is backed by Pfister's Pforever warranty, which covers the finish and function for as long as you own it. Please give us a call at 1-800-732-8238 and we’ll be happy to send you the new cartridge at no charge under your product warranty and get this resolved right away.

                  Thank you,

                    I know that you shouldn't be excited about a faucet but I love this one. There's something so relaxing and beautiful really about seeing water flowing. It's just a faucet but it looks great. Seeing the water flowing out rather than pouring down reminds me of a stream or river. Everyone comments on it when they see it. I highly reccomend it.

                    I bought this faucet less than 6 months ago and it is leaking. The leak is so bad that it damaged my vanity that I also just bought. Not happy at all.

                      I love this faucet. A plumber install it, so I'm not sure on the ease of installation. I prefer the single-handle to the dual handle faucet I had previously in the bathroom. I was hoping to give the bathroom a more Zen feeling. The way the water flows out of the spout gives you the feeling of a running stream. It's the perfect faucet for any bathroom.

                        This faucet looks great, for about a week. I love the design and thought it would be a fun add to our bathroom, but after just a week the bottom plate looked awful, and shortly thereafter, the area where the water comes out did as well. I followed the instructions by not using any cleaning products on it, and try to wipe it completely dry after every use (which is a pain in itself!) We do have well water, but we have a water conditioning system in use. These pics are after being used for 2 months. I didn't rate the ease of installation since we hired a plumber to install. I also noticed that after a short time the mechanism that moves the faucet handle from hot to cold did not move smoothly or easily. I really wished I loved this product because it sure looked cool in the store!
