Kitchen sink tap, washer replaceable? - another option.

Featured Replies

 

After reading the thread with the title "Kitchen sink tap, washer replaceable?" I thought of writing this about my experience, today. My kitchen faucet started to go drip, drip, drip...

(It is very similar to the photo @giddyup has posted (made of metal). The inside part too looks the same, as what @johng has posted.

 

I dismantled the thing and saw a lot of whitish lime formation in its innards. I sprinkled some Bicarbonate of Soda and added a little vinegar - it starts foaming. Kept it for a couple of minutes, scraped lightly with a thin scraper (or a screwdriver would do), and rinsed it. Repeated this procedure twice, and reassembled - (maybe if I kept it soaked in that solution for a couple of hours, it would have been better).

 

So far no drips and seems perfect!

Convenient, simple and cheap procedure, anyone could try.

The "O" rings on the shaft cause drips too, I haven't found any the same size, but the complete replacement fitting costs peanuts on Lazada.........🤗

We have used Thai toilet cleaner, on washing machine filters, and tap parts, works well, cleans out the lime scale.

Sorry ,Vizol was the one we used, but the others that are similar should do the job.

If you mean Vixol, be careful as I had that stuff eat up grout on floor tiles in the shower.......
