How do you fix a leaky faucet?
Fixing a leaky faucet is often a simple matter of replacing the rubber seat and the packing. (Note: This does not apply to ball type faucets.) * Turn off water to the faucet at the valve under the sink. * Open the faucet and make sure the water is actually off. * Remove the handle. This varies from faucet to faucet, but most often there is a screw under a cap. * After removing the handle you should see a nut around the shaft of the valve. Remove this nut. * Remove as much of the old packing that was between the shaft and the nut as you can. * Using the handle, unscrew the valve core from the body of the faucet. Turn it in the direction you would to turn the faucet on. * At the bottom of the valve core you removed should be a rubber seat held in by a screw. Remove this. * Take the valve core and rubber seat to the hardware store to get a new rubber piece. Also get new packing. Without packing the faucet will leak under the handle. The old packing cannot be re-used. * Assemble the new rubber seat into the valve core. * Clean any old packing off the valve core and the nut. * Screw the valve core back into the faucet body. * Wrap a few turns of packing onto the valve body. Hand tighen the nut back on. * Do not install the handle yet. * Carefully turn the water back on. You should be able to turn the water fully on and off. If the faucet leaks at the valve stem, tighten the nut until it stops. Do not overtighten the nut as it will make it difficult to remove later and will make the faucet handle stiff. * Re-attach the handle. There are many different kinds of faucets or taps. This might apply to yours. *Turn off the main stopcock so the water won't pour out when you remove the tap/faucet. *Start with the top. Is there a little nut or screw you can remove to separate the handle? If there is you can remove that. You might have to hit the handle upwards or outwards with the handle of a hammer. Try not to damage anything. Even if you can't get the handle off, you might still be able to continue below. *You should then be able to unscrew something. It might just be a cover. You might need a stilson wrench for this. Sometimes the cover is on a spring that you can pull forward to expose the nut behind. *Then there might be a nut to unscrew which will remove the whole front of the faucet or tap. You WILL need a wrench or shifting spanner for this. *Pull out the valve with your fingers. If it is worn and leaking, you should replace it. A worn valve is the most common problem with leaking taps. *Then put everything back. Unless you are throwing away the old faucet/tap and replacing it with a new one. *Make sure you can turn the front handle before you tighten up the back nut. *Turn on the main stopcock. *Clean up all the dirt and muddy water from the floor. *Take a shower to test it before you tell everyone else of your magnificent achievement. turn off the water..

Why does the hot water work but the cold is slow from the kitchen faucet?
It is probably due to a blockage somewhere in the coldwater pipe or faucet. The easiest to check is the faucet. Turn off the water supply valves. Then take apart the faucet and look for tiny pieces of material (usually metal) that might block the flow of water thru the portholes. If there is no blockage, then the next probable cause is blockage in the pipe. This can occur in copper pipes anywhere there is a soldered joint. The blockage comes from using too much solder so it builds up in the pipe. It is most likely the faucet. Even if you don't see blockage it could be there. You can usually replace the faucet "guts" without too much expense and its worth a try, before working on the water pipes.

You replaced a dish washer Shortly afterwards the kitchen sink faucet began to continue to run a few seconds after shutting it off There is a white sediment in the water Any solutions?
Your kitchen faucet is getting bad, the water line that runs to the dishwasher from the branch under the sink has nothing to do with the faucet. the only way the faucet would run is because the gaskets or seats are getting bad. The dishwasher will not affect any water in the house,water goes into the dishwasher and leaves through the drain, it never will reenter the water system,so if you have a white residue,it sounds like you have hard water. If this sediment is inside the washer,you might not be using the right soap for it. Also, the water for the dishwasher should be hooked up to the hot water line not cold.
