I have an outdoor frost-free faucet, not sure what brand (although the handle has a plate on it that reads 'proflow'), that does more than drips. Even when I turn it off as tightly as I can, water still comes out pretty strongly. I can hear it running in the house. For now I have the inside valve turned off.
I tried changing the washer at the end of the long stem, where it actually shuts off inside the house. I don't know the terminology that well, sorry. The old washer looked bad so I figured that was the issue. After changing the problem is still the same. No amount of cranking turns off the water. I haven't changed the washer on the outside, nearer the crank. Unless I'm missing something I don't see how that one could be causing this issue that I'm having since the shutoff is almost a foot into the house.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
