pullout kitchen faucet with filter?

Posted by Jim Elbrecht on October 22, 2005, 11:08 am

I have a 2 yr old Moen 87810 that does exactly what I want out of a
faucet; it pulls out, filters on demand, and has a 'shower' setting
for rinsing veggies.

Unfortunately it wobbles in the holder and the little rubber cover for
the button you push to filter has worn out. [and the filters seem a
bit on the expensive side- $30 for a little under a yr.]

Moen sells a $54 replacement part for the holder-[instead of just the
plastic ring that is worn out & would probably cost a few dollars] but
discontinued the faucett and doesn't have a replacement rubber cover.
[it would probably be less than a dollar] So my $250, 2 yr old
faucet is junk.

That eliminates Moen for me. Does someone know of another faucet
offhand that does what I want?

Thanks,
Jim

Others have posted about problems with pull out faucets of other brands.
Have you pressed Moen for warranty repair? I thought they had lifetime on
at least some parts.

Not sure but it's my recollection Moen has a lifetime warranty. If that's a
fact then a two year old faucet should be covered. Did you get hold of Moen
directly? If so I would press the fact of that warranty and have them honor
it.

Lifetime on everything but the pullout faucet according to the lady at
Moen I spoke with. She *was* willing to replace it with a
non-filtered faucet, but I've gotten used to this. [and it sounded
like I'd have to buy the non-filtered replacement.]

They *were* willing to replace the $54 part of the base- but I'd still
be left with that ugly wornout piece of rubber on the front of my
filtered faucet.

At this point I'm thinking about a single use filter faucet- and a
seperate pullout faucet with a sprayer. Probably about what I spent
on the Moen a couple years ago-- but a little more flexible if one
part dies.

At least I've got time to shop as it is still usable. . . just ugly
and a bad advertisement for Moen.

I used to have one of those faucets, it's crap. Get rid of it. Moen
discontinued it for a reason. I had to replace that same connector twice,
both times free from Moen. But the last time was about a year ago. I just
yanked the damn thing and replaced it with another filter-less pull out
faucet and haven't looked back.
