Why Your Tapware Might Get Damaged Over Time (And How to Prevent It)
Tuscani Tapware is crafted for quality and longevity, but even premium fixtures can be affected by external factors. Let’s explore common causes of tapware damage and how you can keep yours in perfect shape:
-
Excessive Water Pressure
-
Tapware is typically rated for safe operation at 2–3 bars. Constant or extreme pressure (above 4 bars) can wear out internal cartridges and cause leaks or cracks.
-
Improper Installation
-
Loose fittings, misaligned joints, or excessive force during installation can damage seals or create weak points in your tapware.
-
Exposure to Harsh Cleaners
-
Strong chemicals and abrasive scrubbers can tarnish the finish and degrade internal seals. Stick to mild cleaners and soft cloths.
-
Environmental Factors
-
Prolonged exposure to heat, humidity, and hard water minerals can cause corrosion or stiffness in moving parts.
Simple Prevention Tips
✔ Use a pressure regulator to avoid sudden surges
✔ Install tapware correctly or get help from a professional plumber
✔ Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild detergent
✔ Periodically inspect for leaks or signs of wear
Take care of your tapware and it will serve your home beautifully for years to come!
