Wow, Kingruv, that is a comprehensive reply. I thank you for it.
The main reason I've been hesitant to call the super is because I wasn't sure what he'd be able to do, besides replace the hardware again. That's really not the best way to fix the problem, it seems.
Indeed, the idea re: petroleum jelly sounds very plausible. I'll try that at earliest convenience and see if it solves this for me.
Fortunately I don't pay for the water we use, so the only actual cost to me is in terms of conscience. Given how much rain we've had this summer we're in no danger of drought here, so that's not really a cost at all.
