5 Useful Plumbing Tips for Beginners
Plumbing is something that brings everyone to their senses, as it is something that is always needed at some point at home, and when it is most needed, it is when all the plumbers are busy and cannot attend to us.
As a general rule, maintenance problems in the home usually arise at the least convenient time. During the weekend, a holiday or any day during the night. And it is not that it is a plot of fate; the explanation is very simple: A Sunday, a weekend or a day between daily at night are usually the times of free time we have, outside working hours, to make those “arrangements” at home with the fundamental aim of saving us the call…
That’s why we bring you 6 useful plumbing tips for beginners that everyone should know:
Tip 1
The main cause of clogged showerheads is hard water. Hard water or lime water has a high concentration of magnesium and calcium. You can easily fix the problem by getting a water filter. This will also help to prevent the accumulation of soap scum on shower doors or curtains.
Tip 2
If the radiators are not working, they accumulate air for many months. To solve this annoying problem, we recommend turning on the heater, removing the screw (the one that is by evacuation), and waiting for the air to come out, and therefore if everything was done correctly, the water will come out.
Tip 3
A standard showerhead should always be sealed to the pipe threads with Teflon tape.
Tip 4
You should avoid using chemicals as much as possible. Products such as a gel plunger can leave permanent damage. It is best to always use a hand plunger on a drain.
Tip 5
Make your water heater more efficient by making sure your heater thermostat is not set too high, you can low it down to 150 degrees and still have plenty of water for your needs
These 5 plumbing tips for beginners should be enough for you to survive any hardship, or to get started in the world of plumbing. Likewise, if you don’t dare to do all these jobs on your own, you should call a professional!
