Hi again. I have just bought a new mixer tap and I have an issue turning it off. Every time I turn it off, I either get a dribble of water until the tap tube is empty, or it stops as it should but then any knock or movement of the tap then means that remaining water in the tap dribbles out.
It looks to me like when the water gets turned off, the water stays in the tap tube and forms an airtight seal of water at the very end exit point of the tap. Then any knock shifts it and allows air in, braking the seal/vacuum and spills the water out.
Is there any any solution to this? A couple of friends have said they have heard of this before but don't know the answer. It's very annoying.
