 That is AFTER pump is turned off, and, NO, not on city water hook up.

Try cleaning out the screen.  It may have construction debris which is causing it to drip.  Most Pod owners who have had debris accumulate in the screen have had the opposite effect--water doesn't come out (or very little does).  But it's conceivable that the debris is trapping water that just drips until there's none left.

I agree with Mountainrev the debris can cause all kinds of problems.

 Thanks, but there can't be a whole gallon trapped in the faucet !! Is there a such thing as over pressurized tank ?Bath sink leaks after pump is shut off too.

Maybe the water remaining in the neck of the faucet is draining after shut-off because you are not level?

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying you turn on a faucet and the pump, then turn the pump off but leave the faucet open? You should turn the faucets off after using. Turning the pump off or leaving it on should have no effect. I don't see any way for all faucets to leak if they're all off, no matter how high the pressure is. You would blow a coupling or hose before all faucets would leak.
