We moved into our house shortly after the previous owners installed this faucet: We've had it for about 5 years now and the water flow is severely limited. Also, it takes forever for the hot water, but when I remove the faucet head it seems normal. I was just going to replace the faucet head, but a new one is $200. There's no instructions or documentation for the faucet, so I don't know if I'm supposed to be cleaning out the faucet head. Can somebody either advise what I can do, or tell me where I can find some documentation online? I checked Grohe's site but I can't find this specific model. Try removing, disassembling (take notes!), and soaking the faucet head in a mix of hot water and vinegar (50/50) for a short while (e.g. an hour or two), to help remove any tap water mineral deposits that may have made their way into the head of your faucet and that are restricting your water flow. Faucet heads typically have very fine passages and/or aerator mesh, and it's not uncommon for a build-up of tap water mineral deposits to cause water flow problem over time.

I've experienced this first hand, and a good vinegar soak did the trick. Our Ladylux café with the pullout spray exhibited the low pressure issue a few weeks ago. I ended up unscrewing the head from the metal hose and cleaning out the filter and flow rate limiter. Then, I dug through the cabinet to find the mysterious black plastic tool that came with the faucet and used it to unscrew the business end of the spray head. I cleaned out the screen in there, reassembled and reattached the head to the hose and I'm back to full pressure. Here's a link to the specifications page for your faucet. And here's the installation instructions for the 33758 model, which looks very similar to yours, enough that the maintenance instructions might be the same. EDIT: I found the installation instructions for the 33755. I had a loss of pressure problem with mine and I took the spray head off - just twisted it off from the hose. Soaked the spray head overnight in vinegar/water solution.

It helped but it still wasn't "normal". I took the head apart - couldn't find my tool so I used the tips of an adjustable wrench - and cleaned it again with vinegar/water and also dish soap. It was pretty scummy so I used an old toothbrush to scrub the screen inside and out. Put it back together and it's much better now.Browse other questions tagged faucet maintenance or ask your own question.

LOVED replacing part without replacing faucet in its entirety!! Very easy to install and fits perfectly. Make sure you install the 'O-ring' that comes with the faucet head.

The only problem I have had is that mine developed a leak around year five.The single lever handle on this model features variable positioning and incorporates GROHE's "SilkMove cartridge for smooth, precise one-finger control of the water temperature and volume". Water began seeping out from this cartridge/handle area on mine when the lever was at its farthest left off position (as shown in this listing product photo). Moving the handle back a quarter of an inch or so would stop the water, but over time it got worse and harder to find a handle lever position that would stop the flow.

I eventually ordered this Grohe 46 048 000 Ohm Ceramic Cartridge replacement part on Amazon. I installed it myself and it corrected the problem. I haven't encountered any problems since.I like this faucet and have enjoyed mine, but I doubt I would spend this much again on a replacement. I have seen other faucets out there that I think look just as nice and that can be purchased for much less. Finally had our plumber install this during a semi-annual outing after it sat around the house for 8 months! This Grohe faucet is about as good as it gets. It is a heavy faucet that says "quality" as you take it out of the box. I installed it myself with no problem. The spray function does not lock. I'm on my second spray hose, and the second one doesn't lock either. The faucet is brilliantly constructed with finest engineering quality. I doubt if it will ever break. This faucet seems to be of high quality and I expect to be using it for several years.My reluctance to rate it higher is two fold.
