How is the DripStop® Valve different from a rubber washer?
An old-fashioned rubber washer is twisted down and smashed onto the sharp top edge of your faucet’s seat. This cuts it and wears it away over a short period of time. The DripStop® Valve’s resilient sealing material uses your faucet’s own internal water pressure to create a watertight seal on the interior of the faucet’s seat. It is never twisted or smashed and never makes contact with any sharp edge.
