I just put a new cartridge in my Delta single handle shower faucet (1300 series I think). I changed it with a replacement cartridge made by "Danco" that was bought at a big box store. After the job was done I tested it and everything seemed fine. While my daughter was taking the first real shower since I tested it, at some point into it I heard a noise that sounded like an air compressor rattling through the whole house. It took me a minute to realize it was coming from the shower. I told her to turn it off and the noise stopped. She turned it back on and it didn't do it again.
I messed with and could not get it to repeat but noticed as I got past center towards the hot side, the resistance increases slightly. Don't know if that is normal or not. Could there be a serious problem or is it just that the aftermarket cartridge is inferior to a genuine Delta one? Thanks
BTW, I did put a light coat of silicone plumbers grease on the O rings out of habit. Could that have caused a problem?
