My comments yesterday must have upset the trailer trash gods . Our old enemy water returned last night. Around 5:30 AM Lyn heard water dripping and went to investigate. There was water on the kitchen floor that initially looked as though it came from the ceiling. This really didn’t make sense as it wasn’t raining and the A/C was not on. Closer inspection showed that the kitchen sink was at fault, not where the water enters the taps but where the cartridge is. I went outside and turned off the water and back to bed.
When we got up, I checked the tap and put some PTFE tape on the threads on the cartridge housing turned on the water et voila, all was fixed. I kept an eye on the tap for a few hours, used the tap as usual and as there was no sign of a leak I congratulated myself on a job well done.
We went out for a walk, came back about 30 minutes later to a wet kitchen floor! I guess the trailer trash gods waited until we left.
By now there was no way I was going to trust the tap again so I phoned the dealer, explained the issue and “suggested” that the only course of action was for me to go buy a new faucet, install it myself and bill them under warranty; they agreed!
The new faucet is now installed, and hopefully my apology will appease the gods and we can sleep peacefully tonight.
