SOURCE: My shower head drips after it is turned off. I

There is no single magic bullet here. Since this is a new trim, I have to assume it is a new valve as well. If the head drips for a long time well after the valve has been shut off, my first impulse is to think thie installation is with older galvanized plumbing as the water supply source and that some particulate was knocked loose during the process of installation. There are no O-rings that can be replaced that will remedie the problem in any case.

Since your problem seems to be on a newly installed valve, if particulate is your problem the replacement cost will be on you, otherwise it could be a warranty issue. 99.9% of the time it is not the product but the quality of water that runs through it. It is a reflex to blame the product.

Having said that, there are more questions than this forum allows to narrow down the possibilities. Be advised that if it were my valve I would have no reservations about replacing both the cartridge and pressure balancing cartridge since they work together and sold separately, While mass produced items do have failures, when it comes to plumbing, as i said, it is usually what is in the water that causes the problems.

SOURCE: The device the sprayes water

I would make an access panel on the back side of the shower, this way if I ever need to access the shower lines/fixture in the future I can do so, Hope this helped Tim, here is a website that may help:

Water leak thru valve when turn to shower

a lot of shower diverters do this..you may need a bigger seal on the diverter..if you can remove the spout assembly from the tub(with the diverter valve in it) and take it all to the hardware store.. see if they have a different seal/diverter that has a snugger fit but still falls to drain the shower head line out..that will slow that leakage..the spout is on a pipe and unscrews counter clockwise(normally)unless its a single valve unit..with the wide ring around the back..then that calls for a plumber..

My Rancilio Silvia won't pump water out of the head all of a sudden. It had worked for years up to this point

It may be that the 'shower screen' which is a perforated metal disk filter that fits inside the head has reached its use by date.
These can be found and bought on E-bay for about $15 each, make sure you buy a genuine Rancilio replacement, while you are at it, replace the rubber 'group seal' - a rubber ring for pressure sealing the head/arm after filling the arm with grounds - these are a similar price. If you get leaks around the head while making a coffee, the seal is worn out.

How do you you replace the steam ring in a Breville 800ESX? I bought one and would like to have some detail before I take it apart. I see the 4 screws underneath but it look like if I loosen them it will...

This is the easiest repair you will make. Turn machine upside down. Remove screw located in center of shower head (round screen-like thing in brew head). Rubber steam ring can now be lifted out, or it will come out with the shower head. Position new one onto shower head and screw back in. Done.

We have Delta brand tub/shower fixtures, the one handle kind. The problem is that water comes out of both the tub faucet and the shower head, even though the shower is not turned on. This happens every...

You need to replace the tub diverter/spout. There are two kinds, I hope you have the kind with
an allen head set screw on the bottom side of the spout near the shower wall. These are super
easy to replace ! Loosen the set screw, twist the spout a little and it should slide off. When installing
the new spout, smear some vaseline on the copper pipe sticking out, this will help seal the new O rings in the spout.

The other kind of spout has pipe threads in it. They can be a little more tricky. I got called to a
house one time. The plastic female threads on the spout cracked when the plumber installed it.
The water ran down the inside of the wall and did damage down stairs. The leak could not be seen
until the sheet rock down stairs fell down from being soaked. You need to put some pipe dope on the threads, then tighten the spout on by hand, so as not to scratch it with a pump pliers.

I hope this helps !

My mira sport shower is only 2 years old just over and is leaking from the shower head I have taken the head off, is it the washer or do I need a new shower head? Sorry I am unable to give you the brand....

firstly clean all the shower holes with a needle tip. you can also apply some descaler on the shower. Cut an old cycle tube piece round to the size of shower head. Make a hole in the centre of the cutted piece.Apply some grease on the patch & place it between the shower & head. Tight it up.If there is not enough space for rubber just apply grease on the head & tight it.

Leaking shower head

Very few shower heads are made to be rebuilt and any O-ring will always be proprietory (i.e. specific to that brand and part). Rohl has an excellent customer service department. The can tell you if the parts are available and will also tell you to get them. 1-800-777-9762.

Moen Hand Shower repair

  1. snap the chrome adjuster offd2c6998a-2192-4f5b-9240-6bf56d4f6da0.jpg
  2. start unthreading centre of head. I used a paint scraper to leverage at first. The threads get loose soon to hand loosen.0588438c-31ce-4428-9378-28140fa37adb.jpg
  3. loosen the spray ring using a lever to get threads started. Hand loosen after that.It's got right hand thread so the outer ring will be turning counter clockwise.3e2cc1ab-35f5-4521-a05f-e1167596fb04.jpg
  4. Take flat rubber gasket out of centre of head and take screw out, then pry white nylon part out with tool. I used tweezer.a1f4f121-e0e1-450a-a9b8-8777342a3262.jpg
  5. Clean scraped parts in hot CLR solution or any vinegar will work as well. Reassemble with lubricant so it works like new. Most likely need for disassembly is clogging or a broken "o"-ring.6fff7106-1b7b-4330-a3c6-089ea42233cf.jpg
