316- $114... My Eye

A couple of weeks ago I turned on my kitchen faucet, it ran normally for a few seconds and then clunk! it slowed to a trickle! We have hard water here in Springville so I suspected I might have some sediment in the aerator. I cleaned it out, but got almost no improvement.

Great! Now what? Gordon said to call a plummer. *Ahh, you're killin' me, Smalls!*

So I called... $114! Are you kidding me?

BEFORE

I didn't know where I put the booklet that came with the faucet (I found it later) so I looked under the sink:

• got the serial number
• looked up the repair booklet at Price Pfister
• read the cleaning instructions
• didn't quite understand how to remove the divertor
• called customer service
• had a VERY good experience with knowledgeable and helpful tech
•  found a chunk of hard water deposit
• removed it with long nosed pliers
• reassembled the faucet
• stated, correctly, I ROCK!
• called Gordon and told him he owed me $114

AFTER

EDIT- I repaired this again on 12/3/12... gotta get another water softener.
