The shower lever does not stay up. The faucet head turns easily. I should have read reviews before purchase and install. It’s pretty but that’s about it

Hi Me alone,

We can help, and if you haven't called us already, please do. As the original purchaser, your faucet is backed by Pfister's Pforever warranty, covering the finish and function for as long as you own it. If the showerhead feels loose, check the collar nut around the showerhead where the ball joint goes into that it's not too loose and may need to be tightened slightly. We'd be happy to send you the replacement cartridge to correct the handle at no cost under your product's warranty. Please call us at 1-800-732-8238 for your replacement parts and get everything in working order!

Thank you,
Pfister Pfister

      Great Looking Set
      I've had this set for about 10 months and it is performing well. There was one issue with the Tub Spout, but it was promptly replaced via warranty and works just fine. The service I received after contacting Pfister was very good. The tub spout can be installed as a slip-on over copper or thread on over PVC. The Thread on design is superior as the slip on needs to be tightened every few months.

        Less than a year
        First, the shower lever broke right off the tub filler. I tried to retighten the allen screw, but the threads stripped out into my hand. Currently I have a tiny pair of vicegrips attached to pull the lever up to use the shower. Second, shorty after, and like other reviews, the handle stripped off the valve’s worn groove teeth and spun freely. My wife had to call me at work because she couldn’t get the water to turn off. She had to turn off the whole house valve until I got home. So I have another, but larger, pair of vicegrips on the valve stem until I figure out the warranty. This is very pricey!! And I thought that with my bathroom remodel I would go with “you get what you pay for”. Well, not this time. This is a hunk of junk. And ruining both pairs of vicegrips in the water in the process.

          nice look, bad quality
          I brought this product because it looks nice and was a great addition to my newly renovated bathrooms. what a mistake!! I have had nothing but problems. first of all the lever to turn on the shower worked for 2 days, after which the faucet and the shower comes on at the same time and there is not enough pressure to keep the shower running. Additionally, the handled do not turn enough to get hot water, not a problem if you are ok with a luke warm showers.I am now shopping for a replacement, it won't be this brand. I am so very disappointed. i gave it 2 stars for looks.

          Hi Sandybee, We can help! First, we can send you the new tub spout replacement to correct the dual water flow. Second, below is a link to a video showing the temperature adjustment and the valve instructions; please refer to page 9, step 11 of the instructions. This instruction will show you how to adjust the temperature disc on the cartridge to set the desired water temperature. If it's not the adjustment, a new cartridge replacement would be needed #974-321.

            Call Pfister!!
            We have had this outfit for two years. The shower diverter on the faucet didn’t work right out of the box. It would never lift easily or stay in place, so we never had full pressure to the shower. But, we had just completed the bathroom remodel ourselves and said.. we will live with it. Dumb on our part but didn’t want the hassle. Now.. the shower valve will not shut off, and this thing drips water nonstop all throughout the day and night. Finally called Pfister’s customer Service, and they are shipping me a new valve assembly and spickit. They were very easy to work with. So, because of that.. I’m giving it a 3, otherwise I’d give it a 1.

              The valve for the tub spout if faulty from factory and doesn’t stay up. Need to call Pfister to get the replacement part for it to work. Or I break all the new tile that was just installed and buy a new set. Opted for the first choice. Will see if the replacement part arrives.

              Diverter has issues
              While the lower faucet is running water comes out of the showerhead. Brand new from box to tub. VERY disappointed and should have gone with my gut instinct after reading all the bad reviews. Will return to Home Depot and will definitely buy a different brand/model.

                The bathtub faucet looks great but leaks all over the place. I am VERY frustrated with this product at this point. I really hope the company filled through with its replacement parts but no luck as of yet.

                        Peeling!
                        After just a year, the black finish is peeling off of not only my shower/tub faucet but also the matching sink faucet I purchased. Of course I can't return it. What a waste.

                            I had to purchase the valve assembly because the original one I installed 5 yrs ago broke because the plastic splines broke. Thankfully the new assembly has splines and was actually able to complete the repair only using the metal spline. Would have been great if I could have purchased the broken part and not purchase the full assembly to get the repair part.

                                    We can help! We recommend wiping down your faucet after use to avoid spots and build-up. Also, cleaning with a 50/50 solution of water and white distilled vinegar to protect the finish and remove water deposits or calcium. We do not recommend using harsh cleaners or scrubbers on your fixture because it will ruin the product's finish. If the cleaning solution doesn’t help, we'd like to help you find a solution. Pfister faucets are backed by our Pforever Warranty, protecting the finish and function to the original purchaser of the faucet for as long as you own them. Please contact our Support Team at 1-800-732-8238, and we'll be happy to assist.
