After long-term use, if the faucet is not cleaned and maintained regularly, issues such as clogging, leaking, and rusting may occur, which directly impacts water quality and the faucet's functionality. Once a faucet is damaged, it needs to be removed and replaced with a new one. How do you dismantle an old faucet? What should you pay attention to when using a faucet? Let's explore these questions together!
How to Dismantle an Old Faucet
First, turn off the main valve and drain any remaining water from the faucet to prevent a large outflow of water during disassembly. Next, twist the old faucet in the opposite direction to loosen it; do this gently to avoid damaging any attached fittings. Finally, unscrew the nut on the old faucet, and it can then be completely removed.
What to Pay Attention to When Using a Faucet
1. When using the faucet, whether turning it on or off, do not apply excessive force. Gently turn the switch according to its direction. Using too much force can lead to damage, leaks, and other issues, causing inconvenience in usage.
2. Regularly clean the faucet to remove internal limescale, impurities, etc. This ensures smooth water flow and maintains the quality of drinking water.
3. When cleaning the faucet, avoid using hard materials like steel wool, as they can damage the plating on the surface. Do not use strong acid or alkali solutions, as this can lead to corrosion.
4. When cleaning the surface, do not use a wet cloth directly. Instead, wring the cloth until it is not dripping wet and then wipe the surface. Follow up with a dry cloth to prevent limescale formation. If there are water droplets on the faucet's surface, be sure to dry them promptly.
5. Ensure the faucet is installed straight and stable, allowing water to flow smoothly into the sink without tilting or splashing outside.
