In general, water tap problems are caused by several factors. However, what happens most often is a leaking faucet. This can happen because the quality of the tap used is not good enough or it has been used for too long so the function of the tap decreases. Therefore, it is very important to choose or determine a quality water tap so that it can be used for a long time. Other problems that can occur with the check water tap here

Apart from leaking taps, other problems with water taps can occur with the tap lever, cartridge, and other components. Following this several ways to overcome it. 

1. Faucet valve is not closed properly 

This problem is characterized by water droplets coming out of the tap continuously even though the tap valve is in the closed position. If this happens to a new faucet, this likely is because the quality of the faucet is poor, the water quality is dirty or contains a lot of sand or minerals, causing a leak. 

Meanwhile, with old taps, this can happen because the strength of the tap valve has decreased so it cannot close completely. The best solution to overcome this is to replace the water tap with a new one with the best quality. Also, make sure the inside of the water tap is cleaned regularly to prevent dirt buildup. 

2. Tap lever is stuck 

Poor-quality taps can trigger corrosion or rust. As a result, the tap lever becomes dragged or jammed. When the tap lever is stuck and difficult to open, we usually force the lever to turn. This condition makes the damage to the tap even worse. It's best to first pay attention to the cause of the tap lever jamming. After that, make appropriate repairs according to the cause. To maintain the quality of the faucet, apply chrome cleaning fluid to the stainless steel faucet on the inside and outside using a soft cloth.

3. Water pressure is too strong 

Water tap leaks can be caused by water pressure that is too strong. This makes the tap unable to withstand high enough water pressure, causing leaks and damage. Usually, this case occurs if the water tap material is of poor quality or is too fragile. 

An effective way to solve this problem is to adjust the water pressure according to the specifications of the water tap. You can adjust the pressure of the water tap via the tap stop or the tap lever. 

These are some ways to deal with the most common water tap problems. Most water tap problems are caused by the tap being of poor quality or using loose materials. So, be careful in choosing a quality water tap, such as using brass or SUS304 stainless steel, as well as a premium quality cartridge such as the GB Sanitaryware water tap.
