Hello: My house has the one knob, pull on, push off style Price Pfister facuets. They are really hard to turn on, or off, and even hard to twist for hot and cold. It seems to effect both showers and sink facuets. Would a cartridge replacement fix this problem, or is it time for new facuets? Thanks for any advice, and have a nice day, Bill

Cartridge will fix 98% of problems. Cheap and easy compared to a new faucet.
Had the same problem with Price Pfister,changed the cartridge and solved the problem!Works better than new, and a whole lot cheaper. Saxman

Just about any Price Pfister faucet with ceramic cartridges will most likely still be under factory warranty.
Call them and they'll likely send 'em for gratis although they will probably charge a $5 shipping fee.
Most of the big name faucet manufacturers seem to be pretty good with their customer service and warranty parts.
Even cheaper than cartridge and easy to try would be to disassemble, clean and apply plumbers grease to all O rings and washers. Cost you about $3 and a half an hour. if that doesn't work replace the innards.
