Laminar faucet woes
Hello,
While this thread is old I am curious if vu did indeed install this faucet. Mine was installed in August of 2006. I moved in November 2006 (it's now December 2007) only to find that the plumber knew that the Laminar faucet was not working properly. It sprays water in a four foot circle around the tub. The plumber and my general contractor seem to find it amusing since "they just knew it could never work." Well, I've seen it work and it is gorgeous. Kohler's techs and engineers can't figure it out, but they keep giving the plumbers (different plumbers) ideas. These plumbers tell me that even Kohler is just guessing at this point (and they really have tried). The plumbers are not confident with the latest idea and don't to see me spend any more money until Kohler can come up with a sure fix. I spent $700 extra to try to figure this out. The original plumber is out of business and doesn't answer my calls (he is now if the sprinkler business...perhaps he thought that he was installing an indoor sprinkler over my tub!!!!) His installer has ignored the situation, so the plumber's year warranty is out the window. My general contractor says that his trusted source, another gc, has "installed this faucet all over the world, and they all spray." Yet, it took me 12 Google search pages to find this forum (and it still does not indicate a problem with the faucet), the previous pages are all vendors currently advertising this faucet. So it can't be a problem for too many others. BTW, the online plumber, Designer Plumbing Outlet, is only obligated to the sale for 30 days. (How to buy a faucet and get it installed in new construction or a remodel is a mystery to me.) Any way, their live chat person said I my problem was not their problem.
Anyone else having problems? Right now I have an 80 gallon, $4500 porcelain pillow storage unit, and have pics to prove it.
Happy New Year!
