The water leaks constantly. It is a replica of the old-fashioned, wall mount, hand held shower with an elephant spout and two cross pieces for hot and cold. The water pressure has gotten very low.
I've taken every piece off and used teflon plumbers tape just to make me feel better when I did the reassembly. American Bath is the manufacturer.
