    Pressure only in the middle.
    Danze D510011BN

    Low Pressure on the Hot and Cold ends of this Single Handle, with Great pressure in the center position.

    On my 3rd cartridge from Danze... at a loss

    I suspect the "low pressure" is caused by the anti-scalding device inside the faucet - but it is by design not by malfunction.

    There is actually nothing wrong with your faucet. It works exactly how it should: If you turn water all the way to Hot side, it slows water flow to minimum. Flow increases if handle in the middle and you get full flow when on Cold water side. Most of today's faucets do it... They are not designed to run Hot water on Maximum at Full flow...

    There is a limiter in the Assembly, but it is easily removed.

    Full flow is ONLY achieved in the middle. Cold and Hot are both at minimum flow.

    If this is specific to the design of the cartridge, what should I purchase instead to achieve the results I am after?

    Thank you very much for your help! :)
