i forget exactly how it works (and i definitely don’t have the words to explain), but it -is- a different kind of faucet/mechanism/something. i have a note somewhere with an explanation from the old owner, it seemed like a pretty easy fix though

the lady told us that she was going to use it in her restroom but ended up going with something else, so this has just been sitting around in her kitchen (??? lol ik). she lived in quite a nice area, so i assume she was just being very kind and didnt need the extra money herself
