I had to repair a delta single handle shower control that was leaking. I replaced the o rings and the washers and springs and found that it did not stop the leaking, which was a steady trickle. When I checked the delta web site they listed the above as step one and if the leak continues then step two is to replace the whole unit. When I went to the plumbing shop to get the whole unit I found it was $70, the new unit worked fine. The guy at the plumbing shop said that on the delta one handles springs and washers rarely stop the leaking. Can anyone tell me why and what is the function of the twist apart piece that makes up this unit. Big difference in costs from new springs and washers to a whole unit. Comments appreciated. -Don
