Pay attention to the observation before replacement, disassemble after loosening, and remove with brute force.
2. The faucet is not tight
If the faucet is still leaking after replacing the gasket, it is likely that there is a problem with the ceramic piece under the gasket. Then it is necessary to replace the corresponding ceramic valve core. If most of your Moen faucets are constant core spools, the transmission rods are made of stainless steel; the overall injection seal can adapt to various environments, ensuring that the faucet will not leak when the environment is poor.
3. Leakage in other places
If there is always a gap in the faucet that leaks, the cause may be damage to the O-ring. The O-ring is at the position where the base is connected to the faucet.

1. The purchase of taps
The overall structure of the faucet is divided into a valve core, a main body and a surface layer. The cartridge is the part that controls the flow of water in and out. It is the heart of the faucet. You can see it here if it is durable.
Ceramic cartridge
At present, the ceramic valve core is the most suitable valve core material, and it is also widely used by many faucet manufacturers. It is the most cost-effective, because it is easy to take, and wear-resistant, hot and cold temperatures can be adapted for a long time. Although the impurities in the water may cause damage to the ceramic valve core, the tap water used by the residents is of good quality and can basically ignore this factor.
Brass cartridge
Brass is the most suitable faucet material, which has antibacterial effect. Among them, H59 copper is the most suitable, lead content is also qualified, H62 copper and lead content is less and more corrosion resistant; stainless steel can be lead-free, use 304 food grade stainless steel material, Long-term contact with drinking water.
2. The strength of the control switch faucet
When using the faucet, be sure to control the strength of the switch faucet, because the spool has been adjusted to open and close the angle. Excessive force is often used to open the faucet cartridge, which will cause damage to the spool and cause faucet dripping or leaking.
U Dodatku, before the decoration and installation of the faucet, the sand in the inlet pipe should be drained as much as possible, and then the inlet pipe of the faucet should be connected to prevent the water from leaking into the faucet and causing water leakage.
