Leaky Waltec Faucets

Leaky Waltec Faucets:
A leaky faucet can be fixed very quickly with just one or two of the following; stem, cartridge, seat or o-ring in most cases.  I personally do not replace just the washer as the price of a cartridge or stem is not expensive and installing a new one can save a few headaches in the near future.  When replacing a cartridge that has a washer on it; it is import to check the seat that is located inside the faucet.  It is the part that the rubber washer pushes against when you turn off your water.  If the seat is rough, it will be just a short matter of time before your faucet is leaking again.  Waltec faucets for example, have a short seat for its kitchen and basin faucets and a long seat in the tub faucets.  Most homeowners do not know that some faucets have a life time warranty and that your local hardware store will give you a cartridge with no charge attached.
