Delta Touch Faucet No Water [4 Easy Fixes]
I will discuss the potential reasons behind your faucet’s no-water issue. The following is a complete troubleshooting guide to help you resolve your faucet problems.
1. Check The Water Supply
After performing repairs, many people forget to reactivate the water supply.

You might have forgotten to turn the main water supply back on.
Solution:
Ensure your water supply shut-off valve is fully open to ensure proper water flow to your faucet. Water may not flow if the valve is only partially closed. Open the valve fully so that there is no restriction on the water supply.
If you’re unable to locate the main water supply of your home call a technical or Delta professional for assistance.
2. Check The Batteries
If the water supply is on but still there’s o water then the next thing you should check is the batteries.

When your delta faucet’s battery is low or worn out, it can’t be used unless you bypass to ‘manual’ mode.
Solution
Inspect the battery pack located under the sink of your Delta faucet. Make sure the batteries are working and aligned correctly. If the batteries are dead, replace them with new ones. Also, if there’s any wiring issue call Delta professional to solve it for you.
3. Clogged Spray Head Inlet
Inlets are where water enters a spray head like a faucet, showerhead, or sprayer.

If it gets clogged or blocked, it can affect water flow and spray head performance.
Solution:
First, remove the spray head from the hose by twisting it counterclockwise.
Soak the spray head Submerge the entire spray head, including the aerator, in distilled vinegar. Allow it to sit for several hours, but preferably overnight.
After soaking, use a small brush to clean the spray head’s inlet screen, aerator, and backflow preventer. Rinse the spray head thoroughly with water. Once the spray head is clean and dry, reattach it to the hose by twisting it clockwise
4. Check The Solenoid Valve
The solenoid valve is a crucial component of your faucet that controls the water flow.

Having a malfunctioning or faulty solenoid valve could lead to no water flow. Let’s check out how you can solve it.
Solution:
Disconnect the solenoid (a box-shaped thing with blue clips attached to it) from the battery pack and wait about 30 seconds. This will reset the faucet. See my other write-up on how to reset the delta touch faucet for a complete guide on resetting your Delta Touch faucet.
Alternatively, if the solenoid is faulty you need to replace it to make the faucet operate normally. Contact a technician or Delta professional who can replace the solenoid for you without going through any hassle on your own.

If Your Delta Touch Faucet Not Responding To Touch
If everything is alright but there’s still no water it can indicate there’s an issue with the faucet’s touch system. Here’s how you can troubleshoot.

You can tell from the LED indicator lights of your Delta faucet whether there’s an issue with the faucet system or not. Refer to the below table:
Light Color | Meaning |
Blue light | The faucet is working properly. |
Slight Red | Batteries are low, replace them soon. |
Full Red | Batteries are worn out, replace them. |
Red light means the batteries have worn out so you need to replace them as soon as possible. Without the batteries, the hands-free touch functions won’t work. Delta faucets, however, can be used manually without batteries.
Other reasons why your Delta touch faucet not responding to touch are
grounding issues and the spout needs to be insulated. Once these issues are fixed the touch functions will work turning the water flow back to normal.
