The Chosen One
So my upstairs tub facet has been a bit drippy for a few months that I have noticed. It continues to drip after a shower has been taken and is one of those single lever deals for hot and cold water.
Had my plumber come over to look at it and he suggested replacing the cartridge as the rubber seals in the existing cartridge looked fine and there must be something wrong with the cartridge itself. So I nabbed an oem American standard replacement cartridge to put in, replaced it this evening and the darn tub facet still drips every 2 seconds after used; even after an hour.
Any clues here? I think replacing the cartridge would had been good enough as all the water is directed through it. At a loss.. maybe I need to replace the whole valve system itself, but that seems too extreme.
