We have a Delta single handle faucet (
this model) that drips. Since I have little time to deal with this stuff, my wife got my father in law to replace the guts of it, like I have been telling her for months that I would do. My wife watched him, and she says he did everything just like
this site says except putting the silicon grease on the O-ring seals, replacing everything but the ball, with a repair kit from Home Depot.
Problem is, it didn't fix it and we have this constant DRIP DRIP DRIP. My wife says it probably even made it worse. Now it is past my bedtime, and my wife can't sleep when she knows it is dripping so I am wondering if anyone has any other idea about what I can do.
Will adding the grease help? I have never heard of using grease with plumbing.
Could there be a problem with the entire faucet? or could the problem be in the head of the faucet? Our house is only 2 years old, so I am assuming it isn't totally worn out. If I can avoid springing 270 bucks for a new one, I would certainly prefer that.
