Leaky shower?

[mrphy42]

I have a shower with a single tear drop shaped acrylic pull handle. I have a leak problem. When I push the handle in, water continues to leak from the faucet. Any suggestions?

Many faucets come with cartridges.

If yours is a Moen, you can remove the handle,

remove the tube behind the handle,

pull out the u-shapped clip

Remove the cartridge.

That fits the description, once I remove that, do I have to replace it with a new one?

yes, get a replacement cartridge and reassemble. You should be good for a numberof years.
