I am hoping that the quality has come up but as of last summer the Delta
Six version of these faucets were leaking at the base and both the
manufacturer and the vendor knew about the problem, yet sold them anyway
without testing them.  I contacted both of them about the faucets and the
manufacturer told me how he thought I could repair it and then test it
after it was repaired.  I used PVC pipe cement on the defective areas and
it sealed the leak.  The question I had was if it was so easy to test these
faucets (stick them under water in a clear bowl and blow into the spout and
look for bubbles) why didn't the manufacturer do this as a test on their
end or the vendor do it on his end once he knew about the problem.  I was
the end user and because I had some skill I could fix the problem myself.
 I have a couple of these from last year that I can test and send out to
you.  My own personal experience with GW products that they make themselves
is that they actually do a pretty good job of QC.

Just my experience.
