Dripping Franke Tap in Ireland? Genuine Spare Parts Available!

Dripping Franke Tap in Ireland? Genuine Spare Parts Available!

Here is what you need to do!

If you live in Ireland and your Franke kitchen tap is dripping, the good news is that you don’t need to replace the whole tap. A leaking tap is a common household issue, but often it’s caused by a worn ceramic valve or O-ring, both of which can be replaced quickly and cost-effectively.

At HWL, we understand how annoying a dripping tap can be — it wastes water, raises your bills, and can cause damage over time. Luckily, most drips are simple to fix.

Why is your Franke Tap dripping?

A dripping Franke tap is usually caused by:

• Wear and tear of internal parts such as the ceramic valve or O-ring
• Mineral build-up from Ireland’s hard water
• Loose or damaged components
• Incorrect installation or lack of maintenance

What happens if you don’t fix it?

Even a slow drip wastes thousands of litres of water annually, not to mention the environmental impact. It can also cause damage to your sink or countertop and lead to more serious plumbing issues.

Step-by-Step: Fixing Your Dripping Franke Tap

1. Identify the leak source: Check if the drip is from the spout or base.
2. Turn off water supply: Prevent flooding by switching off the water before repair.
3. Disassemble the tap: Carefully remove the handle to access the valve or cartridge.
4. Inspect and clean: Check for worn washers or mineral deposits and clean if necessary.
5. Replace parts: Use genuine Franke ceramic valves or O-ring kits to fix the drip.
6. Reassemble and test: Put everything back and turn the water on to check if the drip stops.
