FAQs
How do I know if I need this replacement cartridge?
If your faucet is leaking, dripping water when turned off, or does not shut off completely, you likely need a replacement cartridge.
What sizes are available?
This cartridge is available for 35mm and 40mm faucet openings.
Can I use this in any faucet?
This cartridge is designed for ceramic disc faucets and is ideal for most kitchen and bathroom taps with compatible opening sizes. It is not universally compatible with all faucet types.
How long does this cartridge last?
The ceramic disc cartridge is tested for a life cycle of up to 500,000 uses, indicating a very long operational lifespan under normal conditions.
Does this cartridge save water?
Yes, the ceramic disc technology ensures a tight seal, preventing drips and thus conserving water.
What tools do I need to replace the cartridge?
Typically, you will need a screwdriver (to remove handle screws) and possibly pliers or a wrench to remove the old cartridge and secure any retaining nuts. A basin wrench might be helpful for some faucet designs.
What if the cartridge is not the issue?
If replacing the cartridge does not resolve the leak or other faucet problem, the issue may lie with the faucet body itself, O-rings, or other internal components. In such cases, faucet replacement might be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Faucet still drips after replacement
Ensure the cartridge was installed correctly and is the right size. Check for any debris in the faucet body that might be preventing a proper seal. The faucet body itself might be damaged.
Cartridge is difficult to install or remove
Make sure the water supply is fully turned off. There might be mineral buildup; gently try to loosen the old cartridge. If it's a new installation, ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the cartridge seat.
Water flow is reduced
Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the cartridge and faucet for any internal blockages that may have occurred during installation.
