Title
Identify your ceramic cartridge & save money
Introduction
Only 15% of UK taps now use rubber washers. The rest use ceramic disc cartridges of which yours might literally be any of 5000 variations. It’s due to this complication that most plumbers advise you to throw it out and install new.
This guide shows you how to accurately identify yours so you can track down replacements rather than wasting, time, money & precious Earthy resources needlessly replacing something that can easily be repaired.
