Brilio.net - Sinks are often used to wash dirty kitchen utensils. In addition, many people also use sinks to clean various cooking ingredients before processing. Sinks consist of two main components: a tub and a water tap. The tap functions to drain water from the sink hose. To use it, simply turn the tap lever until the water flows into the sink.
Although it looks simple, the use of a sink faucet is not free from problems, such as a clogged faucet. Even though the faucet lever has been turned to the maximum, the water discharge that comes out is still small or even none at all. This situation can certainly interfere with the cooking process, right?
If you experience similar problems, there is no need to rush to call a repairman. Try to check and fix the water tap yourself first. As done by YouTube user SERABUT.
At the beginning of the video, this netizen shows the appearance of his clogged sink faucet. Even though the lever has been turned, the water discharge remains small.
"This is small and looks like it's about to run out," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube SERABUT, Monday (2/12).

To fix it, loosen the bolt on the water tap located on the side. Once it is loose, pull the tap body until it comes off the end.

Remove the cover that is on the end of the faucet body. To make it easier, this netizen pulled it using a knife.

After the cap is removed, pay attention to the rubber on the inside of the water tap. It turns out, this part is what causes the water tap to clog.
"The rubber is wrapped around so the water can't get out optimally," he explained further.

Pull and straighten the rubber inside the water tap. Once done, close and reinstall all parts of the water tap as before.

Next, turn the water tap lever. As a result, the water comes out to the maximum. If it is like this, you can wash kitchen utensils and various food ingredients as before.
