I have a bathtub with a Delta faucet that started to leak from the hot water side. I replaced the stem, seat and spring and that fixed the problem. But after about two weeks the hot water side began leaking something fierce. I took it apart to see what the problem could be and noticed the seat was terribly misshapen. So I replaced the seat and spring. All was good for about 2 weeks, then it happened again. So, again I replaced the seat and spring. All seemed good again. But at about 2 more weeks, you guess it, the seat was deformed again.

Does anyone have any clue as to why this keeps happening? What is mangling the seats up?
