A kitchen faucet that drips is easily the most common household plumbing problem. Dripping usually happens once the O-ring within the faucet's aerator has worn-out or damaged. Left unchecked, a dripping kitchen faucet may have a significant effect on water bill and may eventually carve a funnel in to the metal faucet seat. Thankfully, a dripping kitchen faucet can certainly and inexpensively be fixed with common household tools along with a new O-ring.
Take away the aerator in the faucet's spout. The aerator may be the last area of the spout the water flows through before it exits the tap. Wrap both jaws of a set of pliers with masking tape to prevent itching the aerator when it's removed. Keep the aerator using the pliers and twist the aerator inside a counterclockwise direction to take it out of the faucet's spout.
Take away the O-ring in the aerator. The O-ring is really a rubber ring situated around the spout side from the aerator. Make use of a flathead screwdriver to pry the O-ring free of the aerator.
Clean any mineral buildup present around the small holes around the aerator. Make use of a small brush, like a toothbrush, drizzled with vinegar to clean the nutrients away lightly.
Insert a brand new O-ring in to the aerator by pressing it into position.
Attach the aerator the faucet's spout. Turn the aerator inside a clockwise direction until it's finger-tight, then make use of the pliers with tape wrapped round the jaws to tighten the aerator to the spout, therefore finishing the repair.
