    Replacing delta shower faucet o-rings
    My shower is leaking when I turn on the shower. I have a delta shower and when I turn on the water as if I'm going to take a bath and then adjust the temp... the water will leak... then when I turn the shower on, the leak will go away... I'm guessing the o-ring or o-rings need to be replaced, but I cannot get the brass slive off to get at the o-rings.. what do I need to do to get at these o-rings.

    It will depend upon which model Delta as to whether you will be changing the seats and springs, the "O" rings or the cartridge itself. What model Delta do you have? Back to you, Tom

    Hey, thanks, Speedball1

    Well, the only name I can see on it is the word "Monitor". Would that be it? Olivermax

    Speedball1, I forgot to metion that when you select the temp of the water, you turn the smaller dial like king of a point to find what temp you want and then you use another larger handle to turn that will decide how much water preasure you want. When the shower is done, you will use that handle to turn off the water. The next time you take a shower, you will only have to turn the larger handle. The temp is already set from that last time... Will this help any? Olivermax
