Slow Shut Off Faucet!

[silguy]

Hi,

I just tapped a Tee fitting in my existing cold water fittings under the kitchen sink so the new fitting has a hose fitting for my new water filter. I noticed after I did this, our faucet trickles about a few seconds before finally shutting off where as before, right when you shut off the faucet, the water stops immediately. I thought it was the Tee so I removed it to test it and it's still doing the same thing! Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Probably a bit of trash from installation of the T fitting has gotten stuck in your faucet. Shut the supply valves off and disassemble the faucet and clean the trash out.

could this cause be simply my design of the faucet. I have one of those gooseneck faucets

After it trickles a few seconds , does it stop 100%.
If it does not continue to leak don't worry about it.
If it's annoying and and you don't have the skills and or tools to disassemble & reassemble it then call a plumber and support your local economy.

yea, that's what i've been doing it, just believing the issue is the design. Since it's a goose neck and the water is shut off at the bottom, the top neck portion would still have a bit of water.
