Repair method

Generally, there is a connector that can be screwed on at the place where the faucet comes out. You only need to gently unscrew the connector in a counterclockwise direction (be careful not to use brute force to avoid damaging the faucet).

Disassemble the unscrewed faucet interface further. The faucet interface generally has a small part of parts inside, and these small parts are the important reasons for the clogging of the kitchen faucet. What is the reason, of course, it also needs to be unscrewed to see.

Remove the two layers of iron sand nets inside the faucet, and you will find that there are many tiny sand particles on the iron sand nets. These tiny sand particles block the sand nets and reduce the speed of water flow and the water output of the faucet. How to deal with these tiny sand particles? Generally, vinegar is used to soak the iron sand net with vinegar. After about an hour, a needle is used to pick out the larger sand particles, and then the surface of the iron sand net is exposed to flowing water. Flush to ensure that the finer sand particles inside can be washed away.

After ensuring that the lower water outlet can be unimpeded, first put the green rubber pad underneath, screw the green rubber part, and then put the two layers of iron sand nets in order to complete the splicing of the faucet interface.

After splicing the connector of the faucet, reinstall it on the faucet. At this time, turn on the switch of the kitchen faucet and you will find that the water flow of the faucet becomes larger, and the faucet no longer has the problem of clogging.
