Had today inked-in as a cold riding day but among the landscaping clutter-work came the kitchen faucet’s annoying running despite having been touched. These Delta Faucets are as addictive as iPhones & once you’ve grown accustomed to Touch On Touch Off you irk heap & rankle at having to use the toggle – which is on the right side illogically as most of us are right handed & don’t want to hold something needing washing in the non-dominant hand just to engage the damn water.
Turns out the Solenoid needs cleaning; the modern solenoids can be opened with some tugging, cleaned, & replaced in minutes. It took me over an hour just to figure out where to look for the decoupling clamps on mine. Then I found it’s not designed to be cracked open & cleaned.
So I’m getting Delta to ship me a more advanced solenoid* so this perhaps every 5 year task will be easier next time. Delta is not charging me a penny for this & im assuming this is the new Cancel Culture normal. Build excellent relations & sustain them.
*By now it ought to be Clarion that I’m enjoying my Soul Annoyed pun just a bit damn too much
