1. Three ways to disassemble the shower faucet.

1. The first method is to close the main valve of the house first, and then you can use a screwdriver to insert it under the handle of the faucet, pry it up left and right, pry it on one side, take it slowly, and the force is uniform and stable, so that you can remove the valve core.

2. The second method is to close the main water valve, or close the angle valve of the shower faucet (if there is none, close the main valve), then put the water in the water pipe clean, then unscrew the blue cover on the right handle, loosen the screws inside with a Phillips screwdriver, take off the handle, and expose the valve core, and then use a movable wrench to unscrew the valve core.

3. The third method is to close the main water valve first, and then put the faucet handle with a red and blue mark of about 8mm, buckle it off, loosen the fixing screw counterclockwise with a flathead screwdriver, take off the handle, disassemble the valve core of the faucet with a live wrench, open the upper part of the gland with a wrench, and take out the ceramic valve core inside.

Second, the necessary skills to replace the faucet, dismantling the faucet steps.

1. Turn off the hot and cold water to the faucet on the pool**, unscrew the nut with an adjustable wrench or pipe wrench wrench, and then remove the faucet from the water supply pipe under the pool.

2. If the old unit has a sprinkler head and hose, remove the sprinkler fixing nut under the pool. Also, disconnect the hose from its nozzle.

3. Remove the old faucet from the pool, and then clean the pool wall near the faucet installation area.

3. How to clean the nozzle.

1. Clean the inside of the shower head: remove the water pipe head connected to the shower, reverse flush the shower with the water of the faucet, then fill it with water, block the water inlet, shake it vigorously, and quickly release the dirty water, so that it can be repeated several times, this method is suitable for cleaning all showers; If the shower head can be removed, it is very simple to clean the inside, just disassemble the shower head and rinse it with tap water.

2. Clean the shower head: Use a needle to poke open the blocked water outlet holes one by one.

Since the general shower faucet nozzle is clogged because the tap water contains a trace amount of sediment, the shower nozzle will gradually block the water outlet hole of the shower head during long-term use, and even the sand and gravel will accumulate inside the showerhead.

How to disassemble and clean the clogged faucet of cold and hot water:

1. Turn off the main switch. Find the red and blue dots under the handle. Snap it open with your hand and reveal a small hole.

2. Use a flashlight to observe the hole to see whether a fixing screw inside is a cross or a slot, and use the corresponding screwdriver to loosen it.

A few brands of this screw have an inner square hole (e.g. Moen), which is a bit more cumbersome. When tools are not available, be careful not to damage the screw mouth with other alternative tools that can be removed.

3. When the screw is loosened, the handle can be removed.

Fourth, at this time, what you see is a large copper nut, after removing the nut with a movable wrench, you can remove the valve core of the faucet.

5. Observe whether the copper plane under the valve core is uneven or whether there are fine sand grains, and remove it.

Remove the rubber seal on the flat surface and observe for damage.

6. Generally speaking, the integrity of the hot and cold faucet is good and the reliability is high. Therefore, after opening, it is often impossible to find obvious problems, at this time, it is just to change the valve core.

The spool ** ranges from 10-40 yuan.

7. Finally, install it in reverse according to the above procedures.

Don't expect to disassemble and wash it for a long time, the handle Rose can't be removed at all, and the long-hearted one will move the Rose for half a year, and it will be easy to replace it when the water leaks, otherwise just replace the new faucet. This is a money-making exchange carefully set by the manufacturer. Rose is small, but soft iron, and it is inconvenient to disassemble, and you can't say that people are wrong.

Let's get a new one, don't buy an expensive one, one every three years, hahahahaha!

First of all, see whether the awler of the nozzle is blocked, if so, wrap the cloth or other soft things with pliers, remove it for cleaning, and then install it back to --- judgment method: switch the valve core to see if the water is dripping for a long time, if it is still dripping for a long time, the outlet aerator is blocked, if it is not dripping, it is blocked by the valve core.

If the valve core is blocked, it is necessary to remove the handle first, close the angle valve switch before removing the valve core, find the position of the handle screw, the domestic general Phillips screw, remove the screw and then take off the handle, if it is tighter, it is necessary to shake it left and right and then pull it out, remove the handle and then unscrew the decorative cover, and then use a movable wrench to remove the nut of the lock valve core. To disassemble the valve core, you must pay attention: it must not be disassembled!

Patiently shake the valve core, you can pull it off relatively easily, pay attention to the position relationship, wash the valve core with clean water, pay attention not to disassemble, and then, according to the position just now in the order of dismantling, one by one, to ensure that the installation is firm, and then open the angle valve water source.

Suggestion: If the valve core is blocked, please ask the master of the faucet store to repair it, which is more complicated. If the outlet aerator is blocked, you can fix it yourself.

Call a professional, the gain outweighs the loss if you break it yourself.

The first step to solving a leaking faucet gasket: remove the handle and look at the parts of the faucet. Use large carp pliers or an adjustable wrench.

Remove the fill nut, being careful not to leave scratches on the metal. Turn the spool or shaft in the same direction you rotated when you turned on the faucet to unscrew them.

The second step to fix a leaking faucet washer: Remove the screws that hold the washer in place. If necessary, use penetrating lubricant to loosen the screws.

Inspect the screws and spool and replace them with new ones if damaged. Replace the old gasket with a new, identical one. A new gasket that is almost exactly a match for the old gasket will generally stop the faucet from dripping.

Step 3 to fix a leaking faucet gasket: Attach the new gasket to the spool and reinstall the parts in the faucet. Rotate the spool in a clockwise direction.
