Drippy kitchen faucet [View all]
A couple years ago, I hired a plumber to replace my kitchen faucet. Nothing fancy, just a basic bar sink faucet so I could easily fill buckets in my sink. They installed a Price Pfister model that has cartridges in the hot and cold handles. I didn't think anything about it and it worked fine for awhile. Now, it seems that the faucet starts dripping every few months and I have to call them out to replace the cartridges. Finding the cartridges has also become a problem because the company has gone out of business and I cannot get replacements at Home Despot or Ace Hardware. I can get them online (for the time being, don't know how long that will last) but, would I be better off just getting the plumber to put in a new name brand faucet? Does all new plumbing hardware have a life span of a year or two?
