So I have this fixture that started dripping.
It's one of those single handle check ball valve type.
It's been an absolute beotch to get apart due to calcification etc...
Went to work on it again today but no love.
Wife said call a plumber to which my response was I know of no way a plumber will get this apart without destroying it meaning we'll need a new fixture so rather than incur both expenses let's just get a new fixture and I'll replace it.
Now the interesting thing I discovered by accident is it is less prone to leaking if the water pressure is turned up.
Why is that?
It's counter intuitive.
If the seals are going then one would think less water pressure makes it leak less but I'm finding the opposite.
This is the type of valve we are discussing.
