Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Kingston Brass faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator from the spout and clean any accumulated debris or mineral deposits. This helps maintain optimal water flow.
- Leak Prevention: The Dura seal washerless cartridge is designed for long-term, leak-free use. If a leak occurs, consult the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, try the following steps before contacting customer support.
- Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris or mineral buildup. Clean the aerator as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
- Leaks from Spout: If water drips from the spout when the faucet is off, the cartridge may need to be inspected or replaced. Refer to the detailed installation manual for cartridge access.
- Leaks from Handle Base: Check the connections underneath the sink. Ensure all mounting nuts and water supply lines are securely tightened. Do not overtighten.
- Difficulty Turning Handles: If handles are stiff, ensure no debris is obstructing their movement. Avoid forcing the handles.
