Cleaning and Caring for Plumbing Fixtures
Ceramic Disc Cartridges
Some faucet manufacturers offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty on their ceramic disc cartridges. This warranty provides for a free replacement cartridge but does not cover the labour cost.
  • To extend the life of the cartridge, turn on the hot and cold sides of the faucets that are not used frequently. Ten seconds is long enough to 'wet' the valve. This can be done weekly.
  • DO NOT attempt to stop dripping by applying extreme force on the handle; this can damage the cartridge.
