Love your videos, learned a lot, bit envious we don't have plumbers where I am that are honest and do the job that is needed instead of trying to rip people off....lol have been with out hot water since Christmas of 2016. The plumbers could not find the leak and I have to keep turning the hot water off and on from out side when we want to shower or the meter on the outside keeps spinning and wasting water by the gallons as it spins even when the water is shut off from the gas hot water system. It's a pain going out side and turning it off and on. I have no hot water going to the kitchen all day long every day. They came in with some equipment to find where the pipes are leaking, and they wanted 300 to tell me they could not find it....they took 133 our of my credit card after telling me they did not know where the problem was. This is an old house and they think the pipes are running under the foundations (concrete) back in the 50 or 60 that is what they used to do in Australia I guess. To replace all with new pipes they said it would cost between 4 and 5 thousand dollars....Looks like I will be with out hot water in my kitchen till the day I die.....lol My water bill was 390 dollars before knowing that turning the tap off at the gas hot water system would at least stop the outside meter spinning like crazy wasting water, god only knows where it was going....my previous bills were between 95 to 133 a month....it took me 3 lots of arranged payments to pay the water authority off. I am so pissed off with plumbers, I have never had one come out that was honest. You sir are a credit to the industry. Wish we had someone like you where I live.

I have faucets in both my bathrooms that use the ceramic cartridges. They work well and last for years but the drawback is that there is really no maintenance that you can do to them. Once they start leaking your only option is to replace the cartridge. Since the cartridge is specific to the faucet manufacturer there is no standardization to them. The old fashioned washer and seat is much easier to find parts for normally.

I had the same problem. I too replaced the valves it still made the noise. I took the Aerator off and it stopped making the noise. I soaked the aerator in C.L.R. Over night and problem solved. $35.00 for valves $5.00 for CLR at Lowe’s hardware store. Removing the aerator I used a large pair of pliers I wrapped tape around the teeth to not scratch the finish and turned it from right to left remember it is upside down. Either way would have fixed the problem checking the aerator first to see if that verified the problem at least you know.
