GMC 12 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 So which part leak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bepgof 20 Report post Posted July 6, 2014 Head 'drips' over time cos of valve mechanical slight misalignment.Valve is the 'heart' of the whole tap.Some 'heart' can be replaced while some not.I prefer replacing whole tap head these days......Water pressure plays a part too. Low pressure (during rush hour), it drips.One way i 'discovered' - off the hander in a 'fast & quick' manner helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMC 12 Report post Posted July 7, 2014 Replacing the valve only cost a few dollars, but u have to find spare parts that is of correct length.so most will rather replace the entire tap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
w7_lee 11 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 I used to use Pozzi tap for my kitchen sink, so I assume the valve design is the same. Mine was also starting to leak, the 'O' ring was no good (red in color if I remember correctly) and leaking from the tap although it was closed. It cannot be replace. I tried but could not find the correct size 'O' ring in the market. End up replace the whole tap. But I was able to find the O ring for my bathroom sink tap. Also Pozzi. Strange they use different design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMC 12 Report post Posted July 18, 2014 Is pozzi from china? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
w7_lee 11 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 I think it is not a China brand but I am not surprise if it is made in China (like everything else these days). Anyway, I replace with a another tap (brand-less) which I got from a neighbor hood hardware shop. Before the purchase, I ask the seller if the rubber seal can be replace. He's reply was: these days, it is hard to find such taps. Anyway, I decided that for a $40+ dollar tap, if it last me for 3 or 4 years, I should be happy with it.

w7_lee 11 Report post Posted July 28, 2014 Being handy is good or no good depends on how a person look at it (and also the mood at that moment). When my parents-in-law moved house a few years, I installed all the toilet roll holder, shower set, towel hanger, etc... for them. At that time, my wife said it is good to have a hands on man in the house. Recently my daughter's room air-con leak water on Sat night. Sunday go where find A/C technician? And if I can find, sure kena slaughter. Anyway, it is just a choke drain pipe, so I DIY. This time, my wife comment that I am a 'cheapo'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over the weekend, notice the $40+ tap is leaking (water dripping when closed) again, so it lasted for about 3.5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
