Maintenance
Your new faucet will give good service for an extended period of time. Should foreign materials in the system affect
its operation, routine repairs can be easily made.
If your faucet drips from the spout end or leaks up through the handle, follow "Disassembly" instructions and replace
the cartridge. For proper water flow aerator must be free of foreign particles. If flow is weak or irregular, unscrew
aerator, clean and reinstall.
