| [title] The Valve | |
| - | [* black] Do you see the tiny dent in the black tip of the valve |
| + | [* black] Do you see the tiny dent in the black tip of the valve? That is the reason why your faucet no longer turns on and off or it has a crappy flow rate. |
| [* black] This is where you will be using the 2000 grip wet/dry sandpaper | |
| [* black] To disassemble the valve, gently pull on the metal cylinder to slide it free of the plastic cylinder. There is another spring inside, so be ready for it. | |
| [* black] Now pick up the little metal part with the black rubber tip. Holding it upright as close to vertical as possible... drag it GENTLY along the sandpaper for three or four swipes. DO NOT PRESS HARD | |
| [* black] Examine the black tip. If the dent is no longer visible, you are done. If it is still there, do a couple more passes. | |
| [* black] Re-assemble the valve by putting the spring back and gently pushing the black tip back into the plastic cylinder. | |
| [* black] Put the valve back into the white housing | |
| [* black] Put the white housing back onto the black box, and put the Phillips screws back in. You just have to tighten them until the metal retainer is secure. |
