I have this fancy faucet called the Luna by Graff. It is a beautiful faucet but it has a slow, constant drip that seems unsolvable. Hoping you guys might have an idea. Here is a photo of the faucet.
And this is where the valve is, up high near the top.
So here is the problem. When you shut the water off, the faucet remains full of water (like a straw if you put your finger on the end and pull it out of the cup), and thanks to gravity drops of water fall from the tip ever so slowly. So the water sits there in one spot under the faucet and the hard water/calcium is causing my sink to stain in that spot.
It's also causing the tip of the faucet to discolor because there is "standing" water there 24/7, but I assume this can come out with CLR or something like that.
It seems to me like this problem inherent to the design. They either didn't thoroughly test this design before producing it. Or they knew this would happen but decided people would put up with it to get this look. The problem is, you don't get to make an informed decision before you buy it (and it ain't cheap) because nobody tells you this is going to happen.
Anyone have suggestions for preventing this slow drip? I can't call it a leak because I have no reason to believe there's a leak. It's just stored water losing the battle with gravity.
