Although does not affect the use, but will always tick tick, let a person look at the mood is not pleasant. So, how to solve a leaking faucet? Next Xiaobian will teach you how to fix the faucet leakage problem!
First, the solution of dripping water faucet
There is a plastic gasket inside the faucet, if the faucet is always dripping, it may be the gasket inside is broken, we need to buy a new gasket, and then replace it.
Of course, faucet has different type, the method of maintenance is different also, the faucet that we kind with left and right switch will give an example below.
1. First of all, we prepare some tools, mainly including pliers, screwdriver and so on.
2. Remove the screw cap from the faucet and then use a screwdriver (driver) to remove it.
3. Then we remove the rotary handle on the faucet to expose the combination of the spool.
4. We use pliers to unscrew the spool.
Then we put the spool off:
5, remove the valve core, we could see the valve core structure, one in the red seal, we add a gasket on the sealing ring, can have very good effect, if there is no gasket parts, can according to the size of the sealing ring, take the tyre inner tubes, cut a round gasket, may be used.
6. Then put them together, put them back together, put them back together, and see if they don't drip.
Two, faucet water quantity decrescent
If there is no movement, the water is getting smaller and smaller. It may be that there is a blockage inside the water pipe. There is a filter head at the outlet of some taps. We can use a adjustable spanner to remove the filter head and clean it before installing it.
Three, there is noise from the tap
Because the water pressure is too high, or the faucet handle is closed too fast, it is easy to produce noise, or there are obstructions in the water inlet pipe, there is scale in the water inlet pipe, etc., there may be noise. If the water pressure is too high, we can adjust the family flooding valve switch; If there is debris in the water pipe, we can first close the main water valve in the home, and then check and remove the faucet, check whether there is debris inside. |
