Greetings folks!
This is not some monstrously challenging problem .... well, maybe for me ---- but I'm hoping there's an easy answer. Over the past few months I have found the shower head will drip, to leak, a tiny stream of water from it when water is supposed to be coming out of the tub spout. This is particularly true when the handle is in the warm position. There appears to be less problem in full hot, and no problem in full cold. First I assumed it was the spout and replaced it. The dripping continued. Then I was reading about replacing the seats and springs in the valve. Rather than do that I replaced the entire valve cartridge. The dripping still continues. This is a Delta unit Series 13/14 and was only installed less than a year ago. I have 1/2 PEX lines running to the valve and 1/2 lines run to the spout and shower head. Has anyone encountered this before and would anyone have any suggestions as to my next step. Clearly after tiling the whole bath and considering the bathroom completed, I'm hoping we're not looking at any drastic solutions!
Thanks in advance and patiently waiting any advice!!!
Cheers
