We use water at home with the tap to the tap water, because there is water pressure inside the tap, so when we open the tap, the water will flow out. And the larger the faucet is open, the greater the water flow will be. If the faucet is open wide, the water flow is still very small, then you have to look at the faucet problem. There are generally common these kinds of failures.

A, why the faucet water is suddenly small
1. low water output from the faucet may be because the water valve is not completely open. We can turn the angle valve to open it completely.

2. faucet filter, bubbler blockage, we can put white vinegar water into a plastic bag, and then tie it to the faucet, in order to completely immerse the faucet bubbler in white vinegar water, and then leave it for a period of time before removing it. It can effectively remove the limescale in the bubbler. Or we use a wrench to remove the bubbler and clean it.

3. If an inlet pipe is connected to more than one faucet, the water output will become smaller when the faucet is opened at the same time. We can turn off other faucets first.

4. The small water pressure in the house can also cause the faucet to produce less water. You can contact your property or hydroelectric company to solve the problem of low water pressure.

5. If a faucet is broken, it may result in less water coming out. You can replace the damaged faucet.

Second, is the size of the water output from the tap related to the faucet
There may be problems with the faucet, such as the faucet spout is clogged, it will cause the water volume to become smaller. We can check the pipe of the spout and remove the water outlet filter of the faucet. If there is debris or fine sand on it, which will affect the water output, you can clean it or replace it with a new one; There is usually a stainless steel gold wire hose or a rubber hose under the sink or dishwashing basin. If the hose is not replaced for a long time, the tap water alkali, rust and sediment become more, may form a “hanging wall”, when the inner diameter of the tube is left only the thickness of the knitting needle channel, naturally will affect the water output and water speed. These problems can be solved by regular inspection and timely replacement of the outlet pipe fittings.

Third, how to clean the faucet spout limescale
First, you need to remove the filter head from the faucet. Most faucets are threaded and tightened, so just turn them to unscrew. Of course, some faucets require a wrench to remove. Once removed, turn on the faucet and if the water flow is high, the filter is clogged; if the water flow is still low, the filter is not clogged. Then, pour out the filter by hand and clean it by brushing it with a tool such as a toothbrush.
