After selecting the faucet, improper maintenance will affect its service life, which is a headache for many people. The faucet is used frequently. You need to use the faucet every day. Under such a high frequency of use, how can you maintain the faucet and increase its service life? In fact, this is not a difficult task. I will teach you that as long as the installation, application and maintenance are correct, the actual service life of the faucet can not only be extended, but also can always be as bright as new.
1. when the air temperature is lower than 0 ℃, if the handle feel of the faucet is abnormal, it must be scalded with hot water until the handle feels normal. Otherwise, the service life of the faucet spool will be affected.
2. the phenomenon of dripping water will appear after the faucet is closed. It is a normal phenomenon because there is residual water in the faucet cavity when the faucet is opened. If water drips after ten minutes for a long time, it is water leakage, indicating that the product has quality problems.
3. because the water contains a small amount of carbonate, it simply forms scale on the metal surface after transpiration, which has a corrosive effect on the surface of the faucet and affects the cleaning and service life of the faucet. Therefore, after using the faucet, always use soft cotton cloth or sponge to scrub the faucet surface with neutral soap (Note: do not scrub with corrosive or acidic substances), and then dry the surface with a soft cloth. Do not use metal wire or cleaning cloth with hard particles.
4. don't use too much force to switch the faucet on and off. Just roll it gently. Even the traditional faucet does not need to be screwed to death. In particular, do not use the handle as a handrail to support or use. Many people are used to turning off the faucet after using it, which is very undesirable. Not only will it not prevent water leakage, but it will damage the sealing valve, resulting in the untight closing of the tap.
5. impurities shall be removed when the water flow becomes smaller. Under the condition that the water pressure is not lower than 0.02MPa, if the water output is found to be reduced, it may be that the tap is blocked. The solution is to use a wrench to gently screw the water nozzle screen cover at the water outlet of the faucet, and carefully install it after cleaning the impurities. Generally, they can recover as before.
