Things You'll Need

  • Wrench

  • Towel

The Grohe Ladylux faucet has a handy, movable sprayer head attached to the faucet body by a hose. This hose carries the water from the body of the faucet to the sprayer after the water mixes in the cartridge. Therefore, taking the hose out and replacing it does not involve a complete disassembly of the faucet. You will need to take the spout off in order to remove the hose, however. This task will take about a half hour for an experienced repairman.
