Installed a Delta Multichoice valve body with type P cartridge 1.5 years ago during bath renno. Cold water started getting spotty after 10 or 11 months, by 1 year mark no cold at all. Replaced cartridge under warranty (RP46463). Roughly 6 months later same story. I dissassembled cartridge and found balancing spool was stuck, removed and lubed, now working again. House is on well water, so I'm guessing mineral deposits to blame? (though spool appeared clean? some mild discoloration on housing where spool fits). Existing woven spool filter type sediment filter, admittedly I dont change it often enough, but wondering if that is sufficient even if I do change regularly?
Thoughts? Reccomendations on better filter system w/o going $$$ crazy?
