Don,
Your faucet may be trying to get attention. Have you spoken to it kindly? Let it know, that you consider it to be of great importance in your life. But better than just saying so, why not spend a little time removing the faucet stems and replacing old and worn parts. Renew that old relationship with a faucet tune-up
Regards,
Terry

: Sometimes the faucet leaks then other times it doesn't! What could be the cause?? The faucet is in the bathroom & is a Standard American.
