Common problems of faucet leakage:
Q: Why did I replace the whole faucet or did it leak?
A: some water leakage problems have nothing to do with the faucet itself, which may be caused by improper installation of water supply hose and faucet body. In addition, it may also be caused by aging, unstable water pressure or corrosion of the water supply hose for the faucet. Once the water hose cracks and bursts, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, experts suggest that the water supply hose should be inspected or replaced every 1-2 years or so.
Q: what should we pay attention to when repairing the leakage of faucet?
A: if you repair it yourself, the first thing is to turn off the water supply. Just turn off one of the water supply valves near the faucet to turn off the water supply, but if not every faucet in the house is equipped with a water supply valve, turn off the main water supply valve to turn off all the water supply. If it is difficult to find out the cause of the water leakage of the faucet, you can find a professional repairman to disassemble the faucet and replace the parts.
Q: how to use the faucet correctly at ordinary times?
A: some people like to tighten the tap every time they use up the water, thinking that it can prevent water leakage. In fact, the correct use of faucets should be as light as possible to turn on, do not vigorously repeatedly rotate the faucet knob, should not turn the faucet too tight. In addition, the faucet should try not to collide with hard objects. For the use of the bathtub faucet, the showerhead metal hose should be kept in a natural stretch state. When not in use, do not coil it on the faucet. When in use or not in use, pay attention that the joint between the hose and the valve body should not form a dead angle to avoid breaking or damaging the hose.
