Daily Maintenance Precautions for PPR Shower Mixer

PPR shower mixer does not produce hot water after long use? Water pressure fluctuates? In fact, these common problems can be avoided as long as you pay more attention to daily maintenance. Today, let's talk about how to make this hardware that is used every day more durable.

1. Don't let scale be an "invisible killer"

Wipe off water stains with a dry cloth every time you take a shower, especially on metal surfaces. Scale likes to settle in a humid environment, and it will jam the valve core over time. If you find that the water flow has become smaller, you can remove the bubbler and soak it in white vinegar for half an hour. Stubborn scale is particularly effective against it.

2. Adjust the temperature gently

Don't turn the switch violently like to swing the steering wheel. Although the PPR material is strong, it can't withstand violent operation every day. After adjusting to the appropriate temperature, slightly turn it back half a turn to prevent accidental burns and reduce valve core wear.

3. "Physical examination" every two weeks

After turning off the main water valve, check whether there is water seepage at the bottom of the mixer. If you find white crystals on the threads (that is a sign of aging of the leak-proof gasket), replace it immediately. Keep a pack of sealing rings at the hardware store for 5 yuan, which is more cost-effective than waiting for a leak before repairing it.

4. There are tricks to prevent freezing in winter

Friends in the north should pay attention, PPR pipes are afraid of freezing and cracking. Before winter, adjust the mixing valve to the maximum water volume gear to keep the water flowing in the pipe. If it is not used for a long time, remember to empty the water, otherwise the entire mixing valve will have to be replaced if it is frozen.

5. These operations are strictly prohibited

Brush the surface with a steel ball - it will scratch the coating

Spray acidic cleaner - corrode the rubber sealing ring

Let the faucet hang in the air - it is easy to tear the hose

According to these maintenance points, the mixing valve will still have uniform water flow after seven or eight years. If you find that the adjustment knob is tight one day, add two drops of sewing machine oil and it will be smooth as before. Hardware is 30% quality and 70% maintenance, don't you think?
