On some Delta faucets, the handle needs to be exactly centered to turn off the water. Can the water be turned off with the handle in any position?

Yes, it can be turned off in any position. Also, I do not have any problem with the hose cutting the flow of the water. Maybe it is an installation issue. The spout has to be manually pushed back into place, but isn't difficult.

Yes. You can turn off the water with the handle at any position. I have only two problems with this faucet. One, the spout does not easy go back into the stand. And two, the water stops flowing out when I pull out the spout to rinse the back of sink. The hose is too ridge it that it cuts the flow of water.

This is a great faucet. You can turn off the water at any angle, the controls are easy to use. Looks beautiful on my sink!

Yes. You move the handle up and down to adjust the temperature and you pull it to the right or left to turn it on and off. It does not matter what temperature you have it on when turning it on and off.

You can have the back base of the faucet almost flush with your backsplash and still be able to put the handle all the way back. However you will not be able to put your fingers between the backsplash and behind the handle. I have 3/4 of an inch from the back base of the faucet and the backsplash. To allow water flow you move the handle outwards. Forward and backwards dictates hot and cold. I hope this makes sense.

Yes you can, just move the handle. My family LOVES this faucet. The only thing you need to remember is to turn it off auto before draining pasta. That motion will cause the water to come on.

Jennifer: I installed this for my aunt in SC. I think your question is about shutting off the flow at the hand held spray head. The answer to that is Yes. The black buttons on the side shuts the flow off to just a trickle that keeps the full supply pressure build up in the hose and hand shower. That is sort of a pause button, so you don't have to turn the water off at the wall. The trickle flow reminds you that it is still on at the wall. This was a good product. It does not come with a hose, but the hoses are sold in the usual big box stores or hardware stores and you can choose the length there. I hope this helps you. DAVE

If you install the faucet so the handle is on the left, the handle rotates backward to turn on ... If you install with handle on right, it would move forward to turn on ... I installed it with handle on left and it cleared back-splash easily and is out of the way ... handle is a 1/4 turn handle ...

You can turn on the spray while it is on normal flow, but to switch back to flow from spray you turn off the faucet and then turn it back on. This is because the Grohe faucet has a button instead of a toggle. Because of the design of the handle this doesn't really bother me.

yep, where the device attaches to the faucet is a little knob. the faucet just runs normal until you pull out the knob, then the filter runs. as soon as you turn off the water and the pressure stops, the knob automatically pops off.

We had the faucet installed by a plumber and have not had a single problem....other than not positioning the handle completely off. We are quite pleased with our faucet!

Funny question, as in I never noticed this, but yes, the model I have, ordered from Amazon, has the handle on my right (looking at the faucet straight-on). The other picture provided by Amazon, of the faucet set in a sink next to the regular faucet, is how mine appears. -- of course, now I see, from another respondent, that the handle can be manipulated to either side!

sort of. if you turn the knob partway it dampens the flow. the range of control is limited but it works in a pinch. it's not meant to be used that way and i find it easier to shut it off when i don't need full flow and then flip it back on. btw...very happy with this shower fixture...you will need a squeegee to keep it looking good.

You can leave it turned on. I really liked the faucet - until we couldn't turn it off one day. After about two years of use it simply did not turn off again. I see there have been other instances of this happening with other purchasers. It may have something to do with what type of water you use, or it may just self-destruct no matter what, so beware.

The faucet has a rocker button on the nozzle that changes flow from spray to stream. Both modes are 'no hands' and don't require anything else to keep water flowing when the faucet is in 'touch' mode.

By moving the handle either clockwise and or counter-clockwise to select the temperature, can you push-pull the lever to cause the water flow from shutoff to full flow? Adjustable does not tell me this.

Just move the lever to the off position. When the lever is in the off position, the faucet will not turn on.

Great shower head, but no shut-off built into the head. I have 3 of them and all installed on Delta 3-way diverters which allow me to switch between low-flow, hand-held, or both. The shut-off in the hand-held can be used to 'pause' the water during a shower.

yes. otherwise you will have to run back to the faucet to turn off the hose.. with out a shut off valve it is like an open ended hose.
