The ceramic cartridge of the mixer

The mixer cartridge is made of ceramic discs, often it happens that small leaks derive from foreign bodies that have crept between these discs.

It will be sufficient to disassemble and clean them carefully and the loss will vanish. If this is not enough, replace the cartridges because they are probably damaged.
