American
Standard Faucets
I recently refurnished my house and let me
tell you, it was messy. Especially the plumbing. I don't care what
anyone says – it is supposed to be easy work and simple, but
it simply isn't half as easy as it is supposed to be. When we installed
it with american standard faucets and american standard toilets, we
were plagued by all sorts of problems. The american standard faucets
didn't seem to fit the piping we had at first, and we were constantly
beset by leaks which threatened to ruin the floor. The american
standard toilets wouldn't set on the floor properly, and so
we had to use the bathroom sitting sideways for a whole week. I'll tell
you, trying to install our american standard faucets and american
standard toilets gave us an american standard mess.
It wasn't really about the american standard faucets and american
standard toilets, but more about the layout of the pipes. They were old
pipes, and we even suspected there might be lead solder in them, which
is a scary thought. The new pipes were of a different size which was
more correctly callibrated to the american standard faucets and
american standard toilets, but they wouldn't properly fit in the holes
drilled for the old pipes. So we had the problem of the american
standard faucets, toilet, tub, and other fixtures not fitting right
with the plumbing which, no matter how hard we tried to jury rig it,
caused leaks.
Of course, even without the problems with the american standard
faucets, we would have really had a lot of difficulty. American
standard faucet or not, you really can't do anything about the hard
water if you live in a rural community like ours without installing
expensive and difficult to operate, water softening system. And
american standard faucets, and american standard toilets and tubs do
nothing for you if your water pressure is abyssmal, which believe me,
ours is. So what should have taken nothing more than a week or perhaps
two ended up taking us months and months and while we struggled to
install our american standard faucets, the bills kept piling up.
Installing our american standard plumbing was a nightmare, and ended up
costing us far more than it would have to just hire someone to do it.
Next time, if God forbid there is a next time, we're hiring someone to
fix our american standard faucets and plumbing.
