How to prevent faucet leaking :

1, choose ceramic and copper body spool

When buying a faucet, it is necessary to look at the material of the faucet. The valve core of the high-grade faucet is made of hard ceramic and copper. The feel is comfortable, smooth, and the number of opening and closing can be several times. The low-grade faucet built-in valve core uses a steel ball valve. The rubber ring in the steel ball valve core is easy to wear out and deteriorate, and the water leakage phenomenon easily occurs over time.

2, control the intensity of the switch tap

When using the faucet, it is necessary to control the strength of the switch faucet, because the valve plug has been adjusted to open and close the angle. Excessive effort is often used to open the tap valve core, which will cause damage to the spool and lead to dripping or water leakage. In addition, as far as possible, the sand in the inlet pipe should be drained before installing and installing the faucet, and then the inlet pipe of the faucet should be connected to prevent the leakage of sand and other foreign matter from flowing into the faucet spool.
