00:13 Ok, today I wanted to show you the five most common problems with vanity faucets such as the
00:18 one you see here
00:20 one of the most often problems is a leak from the handle. Now if you are seeing a leak
00:25 from the top of the handle
00:27 I am going to take this off just to show you.
00:30 taking this sort of pretaking this apart with a flat blade knife and than pull the screw out
00:34 just to make it faster. If it is leaking from the handle it’s usually an O ring
00:39 inside the top of the cartridge here
00:43 That’s one problem.
00:44 The next problem is if you have a leak from the spout. If you have a leak from the spout it’s
00:48 often the bibb washer underneath here.
00:51 and that bibb washer needs to be replaced.
00:54 Now one nice upgrade you can do is to use
00:57 a ceramic disc cartridge
00:58 which this one has already been done. Converted to a ceramic disc cartridge.
01:04 It’s kind of nice in that it doesn’t have the same squeezing affect as a bibb washer.
01:08 But anyway the most often cause of
01:10 a dripping tap is from the bibb washer.
01:15 The third most common problem with
01:17 vanity faucets is low flow or taking a long time to heat
01:22 and what that most often is is a aerator. Now it doesn’t always appear so, you
01:28 don’t always see the low flow
01:30 but a lot of times that’s the cause
01:33 first thing to check when you are having
