A new twist. Now the Shower is also dripping. Not all of the time. Once you take a shower and turn off the water, the head drips a bit and stops. About 3 min's go by and you hear a whoosh as water is released from the shower head. Then it stops and doesn't do it anymore until the next...

So after 3 weeks of always returning the handle on the faucet to the hot side and having 3 weeks of no drips, Yesterday there were around 6 drips in the catch pan that I place in the sink to log any dripping. Every day during this time period, when switching on the cold water, there would...

Update. With the Lazy Hand gage installed, Normal pressure seems to be right around 65psi. I have watched it drop to 55psi, when someone is taking a shower or washing clothes. The peak pressure (After 24 hours) is 76psi. Thats pretty close to your 80psi. Redwood - what do you think ?

First off, too have windows explorer show File extensions, you need to go into the TOOLS pull down and select FOLDER OPTIONS. You will be presented with a small window. Select the VIEW tab. Inside the bottom scroll window, you should find an entry called "Hide Extensions for Know File Types"...

Redwood I've done the handle check - I even ran the faucet without the handle for a couple of weeks. Nothing changed. I'll let you know about the pressure test in a couple of days.

Redwood Thanks for the post. I couldn't fine one of these gages locally, so I ordered one. It should be in next week. What are we looking for ? I also want to update. I decided to buy ( a replacement cartridge from the mfg), bu a new one in a package. I installed it and withing 2...

I assume your talking about something like this -> Would this cause my problem if I didn't have this ?

I've been trying to get them to commit for a new faucet, but so far all they only want to send replacement cartridges.

First the problem. I have a new faucet that is 1.2 years old and has gone thru 4 ceramic disc cartridges. Some Background. About 1.5 years ago, I planned executed a Major Master Bath re-model. Part of the re-model was massive relocation of plumbing. I decided that I would contract the...

Laura First off, I'm a DIY'er and have laid my share of cinder block and red brick. I would bet after your first course, you would probably not be able to stand upright for days. The pain would be immense. I know I have done it. Laying cinder block walls is very strenuous and the higher...

I've lived in my house for over 20 years. In that time half of my neighbors had to have their house's treated for Termites. Last summer I noticed a couple of small mud tubes coming up from the ground and heading into the walls of my attached garage. I had my property treated. The only thing...

With your house only being 7 years old, I would expect that they aren't worn out yet. I agree with both kok328 and Quattro that some make more noise than others. Unless you see some discoloration in and around the switch, I would presume they are ok. I bought my house new in 1986 and I have...

Just wanted to say and wanted to say that I wish that I would of found this forum years ago. Basically I'm retired and DIY'er. I dabble in woodworking ( I like building furniture, cabinets, etc ). I also like metal working (I've built single and tandem axle trailers ). I enjoy shooting and...
