Generally speaking, a faucet cartridge is bad when you notice that it becomes difficult to adjust the water temperature. In extreme situations, you might have cold water entering the hot water outlets (and vice versa). Another sign is when the stream isn't strong enough, even with normal water pressure in the system.

Your faucet cartridge sits deeper in your faucet than your aerator and has a hole through which water passes. These cartridges become clogged or blocked by hard water build up which produces low water pressure in kitchen faucets. Often, they just need to be cleaned.

Most faucets have a removable attachment at the end called an aerator. The aerator adds air so the water flows out straight and splashes less. 1. Unscrew the aerator with your hands or, if tight, with pliers or a wrench.

The presence of a black jellylike substance in moist areas of the kitchen or bathroom is likely a fungus called Aspergillus niger that occurs naturally in our environment and travels through the air. Given the right growing conditions, Aspergillus niger will colonize and produce black stains on surfaces.

If you have not been able to remove the aerator from the faucet, the aerator could be seized due to mineral deposit buildup. You can still clean the parts by filling a small plastic bag with vinegar and tying the bag to the end of the faucet, submerging the aerator.

Where the water hits air — on the aerator of a kitchen faucet or on a shower head, for example — the minerals combine with oxygen. Oxidized iron forms the yellowish or reddish deposits we know as rust; oxidized manganese is brown or black. The particles can also settle out when a glass of water is poured.

Without an aerator, your faucet will still deliver water, but the stream will sputter and splash. According to Plumbing & A/C Medic, Inc.., the aerator does this by reducing the volume of water that comes out of the faucet, which in turn helps to conserve water (and lower your water bill).

Aerators have a mesh screen inside them. This screen can get blocked by sediment or debris, which reduces your faucet's flow and pressure. Over time, calcium deposits can build up inside the aerator, but aerator clogs are also common after your water has been shut off for a plumbing repair.

Porcelain sinks are both beautiful and easy to clean. On the down side, it's a brittle material and easily cracked. One drop of a heavy object can leave you staring at a major chip in your porcelain.

Porcelain is considered the hardest clay available today and it starts out as... ceramic. It is heated in a kiln at an extremely high temperature (higher than ceramic), so it is less porous and dense. Porcelain is very strong with a smooth finish.

The disadvantages of ceramic sinks are much smaller, but they should also be considered before buying. First, sinks made of this material are quite heavy and difficult to install them yourself. Secondly, the ceramic surface is not resistant to strong shocks. If you drop something very heavy into the sink, it may crack.

Your faucet may contain a ceramic, brass, or rubber seat that is meant to form a seal at the bottom of the cartridge opening. The seat can become damaged with use so that it no longer fits correctly into the hole in the cartridge, which allows water to leak. The O-ring may also become cracked and cause a leak.

Faucet and shower cartridge failures are generally the result of a rubber O ring inside the faucet or valve having dried out or passages in the cartridge have become blocked. A failure can result in a leaky faucet a shower that will not allow the hot water to flow.
