Pay attention to the correct position and direction when installing to ensure good sealing performance of the faucet and prevent water leakage.
Lubricate moving parts regularly: Lubricate the moving parts of the faucet once every two months. First, disassemble the handle and valve core parts of the faucet, and use compressed air to blow away the dust and impurities on the surface of the parts. Then, choose food-grade grease and apply it to the contact surface of the moving parts. The amount of grease applied should cover 60% to 70% of the contact surface. For example, the thickness of the grease should be controlled between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm on the rotating shaft of the handle and the moving part of the valve core. Reassemble the parts after lubrication to ensure smooth movement, reduce friction, extend the service life of the parts, and improve the operational flexibility of the faucet.
Check the water pressure regularly: Measure the water supply pressure of the faucet once a quarter. Use a water pressure gauge connected to the water inlet of the faucet, turn on the faucet, and read the value of the water pressure gauge. Normal water pressure should be between 0.1 MPa and 0.5 MPa. If the water pressure is lower than 0.1 MPa, it may affect the normal water flow of the faucet. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the water supply system is blocked or whether the water pump is working properly; if the water pressure is higher than 0.5 MPa, it may cause pressure on the internal structure of the faucet, causing damage, and a pressure reducing valve needs to be installed for adjustment. By checking the water pressure regularly, ensure that the faucet works under the appropriate water pressure environment to ensure its performance and service life.
Winter antifreeze measures: Prepare the faucet for antifreeze before winter comes. If the kitchen is located in a cold area, when the temperature may drop below 0 degrees Celsius, the water supply pipe of the faucet should be wrapped with insulation materials, such as foam insulation pipes with a thickness of 5 mm to 10 mm. On extremely cold nights, the faucet can be slightly opened to keep the water dripping, and the dripping speed is controlled at 1 to 2 drops per second to prevent the water in the pipe from freezing and expanding, causing damage to the faucet and pipe. If the faucet is not used for a long time, the water supply valve should be closed and the accumulated water in the pipe should be drained to avoid damage caused by freezing and ensure the safe use of the faucet in winter.
Regularly test the water quality: Test the water quality of the kitchen water supply every six months. The test items include the acidity and alkalinity (pH value), hardness, chloride ion content, impurity content, etc. in the water. The normal pH value should be between 6.5 and 8.5, the hardness of the water should be less than 300 mg/L (calcium carbonate), and the chloride ion content should be less than 500 mg/L. If the water quality does not meet the standards, it may corrode the stainless steel surface and internal parts of the faucet. According to the water quality test results, you can consider installing appropriate water treatment equipment, such as a water softener or water purifier, to improve the water quality and reduce the impact of harmful substances on the faucet, which is also beneficial to the overall water safety of the kitchen and the long-term use of the equipment.
