Protecting sink faucets from limescale deposits

Scale deposits on sanitary faucets are a formidable opponent for sink faucets, especially if the water in your area is hard. They can affect both the appearance of the battery and its operation, blocking the flow of water or reducing the pressure. That's why it's important to take preventative measures to protect your battery from limescale.

• installing a water filter: if you want to avoid the formation of limescale deposits, you can install a water filter. These are excellent solutions to reduce water hardness and prevent mineral build-up on the battery.

• frequent cleaning: do not let limescale build up! Even simple, quick cleanings done regularly will prevent a thick layer of limescale from forming. Every time you use the battery, make sure to wipe with a soft cloth to remove any traces of water.

How to improve water pressure

If you noticed that the water pressure is dropping, don't panic! Often this problem is caused by a clogged aerator filter. The aerator is that little piece at the end of the sink faucet that helps control the flow of water.

• cleaning the aerator: start by removing the aerator from the end of the battery. You can do this with an adjustable wrench or by hand if the aerator is not too tight. Once you've removed it, clean it under warm water and, if necessary, use a toothbrush to remove limescale. 

• plumbing check: If the aerator is clean and still the water pressure is low, the problem may be related to the plumbing. In this case, it is good to contact a specialist to check the water pressure in the whole house.

Maintenance of the battery mechanism

Modern sink faucets have complex mechanisms that may require regular maintenance to function properly. Most battery problems are caused by leaks or failure of the water on/off mechanism.

• gasket check: if you notice water leaking around the battery, the gaskets may be worn. These are small but very important parts that sit inside the battery and help prevent leakage. 

• cartridge check: modern sink faucets are equipped with cartridges that control the flow of water. If you notice the battery getting stuck or water leaking erratically, the cartridge may be damaged. In this case, we recommend that you replace it quickly to avoid water loss and battery malfunctions.
