Small tricks for leaking faucets
The faucet is ticking and won't shut down, always leaking water. It's possible that the small rubber ring inside is broken. Would it be a big hassle to replace the faucet? If left unattended, there is a possibility that the initial dripping water may turn into splashing water, and it will be too late to change again. Let's teach you how to do it yourself without turning off the faucet.

1. The gap at the junction of the faucet is leaking, which may be due to the contact area not being tightened. Try tightening the screws.

2. If the outlet of the faucet is leaking, it is possible that the sealing tape is damaged. Use pliers to remove the faucet and roll a new waterproof tape at the fixed screw position.
3. If the sealing ring of the faucet is damaged, it can also cause water leakage. It is necessary to replace the sealing ring with a new one and use a wrench to unscrew the packing nut. The sealing ring is an O-ring shaped rubber piece, and some are thin ropes or metal wires wrapped around the valve core under the sealing nut. If it is broken, take it off and replace it with a new one, then tighten the nut. Before tightening the nut, it is better to apply a little Vaseline oil to the thread of the valve core and the nut.
4. Damaged axial gaskets inside the faucet can also cause water leakage. Remove the pressure cover of the faucet, use a clip to remove the worn axial gasket, and replace it with a new one.

5. If the valve seat is damaged, water will leak from the contact area between the faucet and the countertop. Of course, you can choose to replace the entire faucet or only replace one valve seat. Removing the valve seat is simple, just use a wrench. If it cannot be removed, insert a suitable valve seat sleeve that can slide into the old valve seat and provide a seal. There are two types of valve seat rollers or grinders that can flatten worn valve seats. Remove the valve core before using the grinder. Use appropriate force to rotate clockwise a few times and wipe off any falling metal shavings.
