Leaking tub faucet
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:26 am
Hi again. We have a whirlpool tub in our bathroom, which has been notorious for leaking. Either the hot or cold would drip. When I take off the faucet, there is a black rubber ring that slips down. The inside is made of real cheap plastic. Whatever I did, the hot water side hasn't leaked in over a year. The cold water, I must remove and clean off all the parts, and put together. There is a spring with another black ring at the bottom, that I think keeps the water from leaking too. I've had to stretch the spring a few times to "tighten it". Sorry I don't have a pic right now. Maybe this is a standard cheap faucet used in these garden tubs? I don't really see much buildup, but I wipe down what I can and put together and it no longer leaks for a while. Anyone else have something similar? Its made by Frontline Mfg, Elkhard, In (All the tubs are in my home, but this is the only one that leaks.)
