So, I put in new stems with new washers to get rid of harder-and-harder to shut off bathroom faucets. I put in new stems because the old ones were
15-20 yrs old and cruddy. So, everything's nice and shiny-brassy new BUT (there has to be a but or why else would I be writing?) now when I turn on the water, it comes out a nice steady stream and then slowly drops off to nothing. I turn it up some more and a stream of water comes out and then it slowly starts shutting off. I feel like the stem must be slipping back CCW to shut off but I can see that the faucet is not turning. So, it guess it's the pressure equalizing but I can't figure how it's happening and why and how to fix it!! And it happens equally to both the hot and the cold.Any hints????
