It steadily has dropped for a year or more and I can’t take it anymore. If I replace will they fix? I pulled it off and even with the water off there is still water coming out of the pipe at a slow, slow drip pace. Is it the water shut off that needs help? Would of course prefer the cheaper fix but if a new head isn’t going to stop the leak it’d be good to know.
TIA
Your valve is fucked. It’s an easy 1-hour job for a pro. Not a DIY, in my opinion. Don’t bother changing the shower head.
Shouldn’t that just be the cartridge that needs to be replaced? Very much diy friendly.
often it is, yes. but you need the right replacement parts. if they are no longer made, you gotta replace the whole thing.
also, if it’s one with two valves, it has no cartridge at all and at least one of the valves is the problem.
