How many new water faucets leak when brand new?

A new faucet should not leak even a drop. Does your water pressure seem
to be what it should, and not too low ?
All those leaks, and you're wondering if his pressure is too *low*? My first
thought is that the pressure is way too *high*.
To the OP: If you have a private well, check the settings on your pressure
switch. If the system's running at much over 60psi, reduce the cut-off
pressure to 60 and see if that makes a difference. If you're on city water,
call the water company and ask what their supply pressure is. If it's much
over 60psi, consider installing a pressure reducer. You can buy these at any
home center or hardware store for around $40, and installation should take
less than an hour.
