How can i stop my shower head from dripping thru out the day?


Question:

Answers:
My shower had the same problem. Instead of replacing washers, I just pulled out the faucets and took them to home depot, where I bought brand new replacements with washers already on. Don't forget to turn off the water first.


Unscrew your shower head and see if the washer is okay. It's usually a black rubber ring that sits inside the fitting to prevent the leaking. If it's leaking from the neck, check the threading. If it looks tweaked, you can get pipe threading tape. Ask your local hardware store. It's a white non adhesive tape that's kind of rubbery/gummy and you wrap it around the threading and screw it back on. Otherwise, it might be the shower head itself, which would mean you would have to purchase a new one. Hope this helps.
Turn your water off, and replace the washers or cartridge in the handle. This usually does the trick! Good Luck!
