We bought our house new over 10 years ago and I must be going on my 5th or 6th kitchen fawcett. This one, an American Standard, over $100 at Home Depot, just quit in the middle of doing dishes. Not a drop, but the garden spray is working fine. This seems to happen like clock work, every 1.5-2 years and they just quit. The others were all Kohler and all too were over $100 units with the sprayer. Is all the plumbing stuff you can buy now at HP or Lowes junk (China) or is it because this part of the house has a small cementery about 100 yards away? Way frustrating! Our water is from the city and is n not hard. The pressure is fine. I have been on the phone with the manufacturers and they just send me a free bag of parts every time. Anyone have a similar experience?
