the hot water pressure is greatly reduced as compared to the cold water. i think it is dueto a calcium build up. should the faucet be disassemblied?

very possible, perhaps before that, disconnect hot water line and see your water line flow before the faucet

That is a possiblity, but the shutoff valve under the sink could also be the culprit. Make sure the valve is open completely. You could also try disconnecting the supply line from the bottom of the faucet (with the valve off) then put the line in a bucket and open the valve to see if the pressure is adequate to that point. If it is the faucet is clogged, which will require disassembly.

I cannot confirm this, but the water at the faucett turns from cold to hot in about the same time as when I was using a tank heater. Hope this helps.

If it had a good flow when you purchased the unit it is most likely mineral build up. They are similar to a water heater in that heated water sets in a tank and the minerals form in the tank. You can lift the tank off of it's bracket and feel if there is mineral buildup. These tanks are quite light when installed. The mineral build up breaks loose and gets in the line and faucet clogging/slowing flow. A plumber most likely could no repair for the price of a new unit. If you replace with same type unit labor would be minimized if tank can use old bracket and faucet should easily fit old hole - all lines should attach similarly.

I have had two units now and they both have done this. My husband and I think it's due to hard water and the mineral build up. You can deep clean it, we have used a mineral cleaner on it not sure what the company would think of that. However we are back to having to get a new one due to build up. We will try distilled water only next time.

Could be mineral buildup. It happened to mine along the seams at the bottom, but it took took two years rather than two months for it to happen. You might have particularly hard water. We have one of those filters at the sink, so the water is less mineral laden. You'll have to get a cleaning kit from Simplex since just about every other product on the market messes with the tin. I wasn't happy about paying an additional $40, but Simplex customer service told me I'd get more than 20 cleanses out of it. And it worked like a charm.

I have not installed mine yet but If your water was hotter with the old valve there is likely an adjustment to the mixing valve that will allow more hot water through. I only know this because I watched my plumber friend adjust the mixing valve while holding a thermometer under the water stream. There is a temp you should not exceed to avoid accidental scalding. ie children playing with the faucet. I recommend checking instruction regarding adjustment of the mixing valve.

I have not had any problems with this faucet. I would check your installation.

Mr. Schafer and Mr. Dave have mentioned two good things to look at. I think a kink in the hot water line to the faucet is the most probable cause. But you should also check the shutoff valves emerging from the wall below the faucet -- if the hot water valve is only partly opened, it will restrict the amount of hot water available at the faucet. So make sure those shutoff valves are fully open ("lefty, loosey" or counterclockwise, if you prefer) for both the hot and cold supplies.

You got a lemon. The one I purchased had a nut on both the cold and hot hoses. It's a great faucet stinks they sent you one with missing parts. It's worth getting replaced though. Take a few pics and send them to the seller so they will send you a replacement.

I would suggest consulting a plumber. I have had two Titans in the past 14 year and both have worked well for the entire townhouse. Its only "shortfall" is the temperature drop-off if a second faucet is opened simultaneously. Here in South Florida the base water temperature is high enough that a "cold shower" is not cold by most standards.

This is a frequent problem I've had for the past 10 years. My best outcome was to put a metal support underneath the connector, screwed to the connector and then to my brick wall. this cuts down on the stress and movement at the faucet connection point. Also disconnect and drain for winter, frozen water can cause weakening of the plastic from metal. But I truly believe they are designed to fail. Otherwise why use a plastic attachment point instead of metal? Good luck and keep it green.

Not having any pressure problems with my Profloss 4190, as since it has no well , the pressure comes directly from the faucet.

The water will come out cold until you have used the faucet for quiet a while. I don't think you can have the water come out hot unless you just run the water.

We are not having either of those issues... we installed two of these in our home... one in the powder room and one in the guest bath... it has been almost 1 year and no issues at all. Maybe the flange needs to be cut down?

I will ask my Dad. I think he used hot water and worked at it a bit. But, he is very pleased with the results. I will ask him and get back to you.

Hi Lynda,These faucets are not well built so more than likely it's defective. I had the same problem with the first one I purchased. I returned it and the vendor replaced it without hassle. The replacement worked fine. If possible, purchase the faucet from a nearby vendor because shipping costs might exceed the price of the faucet if you have return it more than once. Hope this helps.-Jeremy

Are you using distilled water? If you are using regular tap water it may have a calcium build up in there. It willMake it run irregular.
