Did anyone else (in the greater San Francisco Bay Area) read in the
Chronicle that chloramines will negatively affect the gaskets in our
faucets? This would have been in the series of articles the Chron did when
EBMUD said they'd convert to chloramines instead of chlorine for Hetch
Hetchy water.

John Talpa, I know this is out of your line but do you know anything about
this? gaskets 'wearing out' faster? Or hardening becasue of chloramines?

Sounded like total BS when I read the article, but now I'm beginning to
wonder.... of course because a gasket I changed in the shower is dripping
again after only 6 mos... LOL!! Guess my skills don't lend themselves to
plumbing...
