| Aug 31, 2012 at 16:08 | comment | added | Dennis | I used to live where we had very hard water and faucets were a problem. I found rebuilding to be a waste of time and money as you need specialty tools to change the seats and other parts and by time you by all the required parts you could have just purchased a generic faucet and replaced it. I never bought high end like Moen or American Standard because the hard water would ruin it in 2 years time. We had a water sofener but it was very expensive to maintain and also purchase the salt. After 13 years I made the decision to MOVE!! | |
