Hello! I was using my outdoor hose for 5mins and shut it off. Went back 5 mins. later to turn it on and it starts spraying water from knob area. Does this faucet need to be replaced or can it be repaired? It was just replaced 3 years ago. Thanks!
yes it would indeed!
Also reassemble in the open position just in case.
You don't want the seat gasket- if it has one- pushing against the seat while reassembling
There is probably an O ring that needs replacing being some of our parts sources or slick lawyers have determined an O ring stem seal is better than that old fashioned graphite rope packing that actually worked for decades.
I try to keep mine updated. They are in the elements so they can start to go bad quickly.
