Tips for faucet maintenance

1. All kinds of impurities in the pipeline should be completely removed during installation. The valve core can be avoided from damage, jamming, blockage and leakage. At the same time, the surface should be cleaned so that there is no residue of building materials.

2. For any kind of faucet products, there is no need to use too much force when opening and closing, only need to turn or toggle gently. The product with screen cover at the outlet should be disassembled and washed after a period of use to remove impurities. For products equipped with hose, attention should be paid to keep the hose in natural stretching state to avoid breaking.

3. The surface of faucet should be wiped gently with a soft cloth (without impurities) dipped in detergent. Do not use metal wire ball or with hard particles such as cleaning cloth. In addition, do not hit the surface of the faucet with hard objects.

4. After a short period of use, the faucet can sometimes be closed incompletely, leakage, loose handle, loose connection port and water leakage, which can be solved by consumers themselves in general. It occurs when the screw stable rising rubber faucet is not completely closed. Usually, when the hard sundries are stuck into the sealing mouth, it is only necessary to remove the handle (hand wheel), screw off the valve cover and valve core to remove the impurities, and then install them as they are before normal use. If the sealing nozzle of ceramic valve core is not closed completely, the sealing surface may be scratched by hard debris or the preload added to the valve core is not enough. If the former can only be repaired by the after-sales service department or professional maintenance department of the water nozzle manufacturer. For the latter problem, the user only needs to remove the handle (hand wheel) and then slightly tighten the valve core.

5. There are two reasons for the handle (hand wheel) loosening: one is that the handle (hand wheel) is not tightened properly due to negligence during assembly, and only the fastening screw is tightened. Second, the material selection of handle (handwheel) is poor, which often occurs in the connection between handle (handwheel) and valve core due to premature oxidation and corrosion, resulting in increased gap. Generally, there is no remedy. Therefore, as far as possible do not choose low-grade or poor quality handle (handwheel) products.

6. In case of leakage at the connection part of the faucet, it is usually caused by the untightening of the part at the time of assembly, which only needs to be tightened. Sometimes, a faucet is perfect in all aspects, but it has the feeling of dripping after it is closed. At this time, it depends on the length of the drip, whether the drip does not stop and the number of drops. The longer dripping time may last for 4 or 5 minutes, with a total of about ten drops. It is a normal phenomenon that the amount of water dripping out is equivalent to the residual water in the tap mouth after the water source is closed. As long as it is used properly and maintained properly, the faucet with higher grade and qualified quality can be maintained
