    Shower Handle
    The single handle shower control knob needs to be turned slightly on to prevent dripping at the faucet when turned off. I also can't seem to get the water hot enough for my shower. Am I just catching the water heater at a "down" cycle or is something deteriorating in the handle mechanism?

    What is the brand name of the faucet? How old? Are the rest of the fixtures hot enough? Waiting on your answer. Tom
