    My shower has been dripping for months if not over a year. When my house was built in 18 my plumber told me this was a specific shower and any maintenance would need a plumber. Thanks to this video, I went to HD grabbed a cartridge and within 7 minutes had it changed out and fixed. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    Great vid - very helpful. I have a Moen shower faucet, which is of course built a bit different, but the basics from this video apply. For original residential owners of Moen faucets they have a lifetime warranty against leaks, so I just called them up, told them my issue and model number and they shipped a cartridge out to me free of charge. No receipt required!

    That cartridge comes apart with on twist and there is 2 springs and 2 black seals. That is the reason alot of time for the leaks two. If you expand the rings slightly it can fix the problem with no need for a cartridge, you can also but the springs and seals that are inside.

    I have a tub with a shower wand. Water seems to slowly build in my faucet, and eventually leaks out, so I changed my faucet to a newer model. It doesn't build up as fast as it did, however, it still will leak over time. Is it possible that it's my shower wand?

    Great video, but 2 suggestions:
    1. Give that pipe in the wall a wipe before installing the new cartridge.
    2. Before installing the decorative covers, turn the water on and check for leaks. It will at the very least give you peace of mind knowing you did not introduce a leak inside the wall.

    I have a 2006 ReBath model. Tried three different cartridges all still fast drip. Tried lubing seals with silicone grease. I may try lubing ceramic disc with silicone grease. I removed the inner piece, no evidence of leaks there, but replaced o-ring and seal anyway. I am at my wits end. Nothng is corroded or looked bad, new parts made no difference to the drip. Even tried over tightening, no change.
