I bought a new Grohe faucet in my bathroom, and installed it.
Everything was good for a few days, but then it started dripping. So I got a replacement cartridge from Grohe, and installed it without any problems. Except it did not make a difference. The faucet is still dripping just the same. What could the problem be? -- My Flickr Page http://www.flickr.com/photos/25892068@N07/ |

Assuming it's leaking out the spout, it's just a bad faucet. Bad from the factory. Return it for something that doesn't leak. --Vic |

Where exactly is it dripping? At the spout or handle? The spout. -- My Flickr Page http://www.flickr.com/photos/25892068@N07/ |

Grain of sand or grit in the fixture / lines. How much of it would be needed to cause a constant leak/drip? Would it be visible by naked eye or not? -- My Flickr Page http://www.flickr.com/photos/25892068@N07/ |

My suspiscion is a leaky casting allowing water to bypass the cartridge. Cheap Chinese sourced crap, in many cases. |
