Do you use Teflon tape on hydraulic hose threads?
Use PASTE aka pipe dope. Any Teflon tape that is introduced into a hydraulic system can cause all kinds of problems. Tape can cause valves to not seat properly, allowing leakage, or bypass. Pumps can get damaged from tape also. Play it safe and use paste, if it does enter the hydraulic system, it will pass through the components and then get captured by the filter.

How often should you replace the shower valve?
Though not a plumber, I can say that shower valves are usually made of brass(a very good material). Therefore they are also expensive to replace (50 dollars for the valve, 150 dollars per shower valve if done by a competent plumber). Therefore, when you notice a leak coming from your shower, try to replace the seat washer (usually the hot water side needs to be replaced first). If you still have a leak, it's time to replace the shower valve.
