A pull-down faucet is handy until the sprayer stops retracting or the flow turns weak. Here is how Napa homeowners can get it working like new.
The stuck sprayer
If the spray head will not retract, the weight under the sink is usually out of position or the hose is caught on something. Straighten the hose and reposition the weight so it pulls the head back smoothly.
Weak spray
A weak spray is often a clogged aerator or spray face. Unscrew the head and soak it in vinegar to dissolve mineral buildup. mineral-rich water varies by region, and older neighborhoods still run on aging galvanized or copper lines Hard water in Napa makes this a regular chore.
The dripping head
A pull-down head that drips when off usually has a worn check valve or cartridge. Replacing the head or the cartridge clears it up.
The kinked hose
If the hose is kinked or frayed, it needs replacing before it bursts. Braided hoses are the durable choice for Napa kitchens.
