Hi,

we live in a very hard water area and the kitchen tap
is now "grinding" whenever used. It's one of these [1]

What I can't immediately see is how to get it out / dismantled.

Any hints?

I have found this:

Then I guess I will need one of these:

I would imagine that there will be a hidden grub screw beneath the red/blue
temperature indicator. Use a thin blade under the edge of it and it'll
probably pop out.

Once you've slackened the screw the lever will come off giving you access
to remove the cartridge.

Well there are a *lot* of similar looking valves but once you have it in
you hand you can compare it with pictures on line to confirm that the
replacement is correct.

Yes, that was my guess from the PDF and the red/blue thing just
disintegrated when I took it off? Can't see a screw in there -
not had time since to grab a torch.

Well if there's a hole I bet there's a screw down there. Sometimes it's a
hex socket, 3mm or thereabouts.

In fact, you can see it on the PDF of the tap you posted. Part B3.

Lead poisoning, unfortunately. The limescale coats the insides of the
lead pipes and stops lead dissolving in the water.

After my kitchen mixer has been in place about 7 years, both hot

expectation, but I found scale deposits on the ceramic disc,
which were quite easily removed, and all was well.

Perhaps the hardest part is knowing how to gain access; once in

Soft water in Scotland too. The south has terrible water.

Not all areas. All of Cornwall and Devon has soft water, some other
areas have medium soft. There are also a few areas in the north that
have hard water. there are also a few pockets of the south that have
soft water, but generally, yes, the south has mainly hard.

If your water is that soft, let's hope that you haven't got any lead
pipes!

I grew up in a soft water area and we definitely had lead pipes.
What have I suffered from in the last 76 years?

Lead poisoning, unfortunately.

So, I'm dead?

no, just mentally impaired https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning

don't recognise any of the symptoms

Denial IS one of the symptoms ;-)

Soft water in Scotland too. The south has terrible water.

Not all areas. All of Cornwall and Devon has soft water, some other
areas have medium soft. There are also a few areas in the north that
have hard water. there are also a few pockets of the south that have
soft water, but generally, yes, the south has mainly hard.

AS someone pointed out, its really an east west divide. Granite to the
west of the pennines and sometimes chalks and clays to the east.

Most of Wales, the west country, Cumbria and nearly all of scotland is soft.

Its the south east, well up as far as Lincoln and beyond that is all
limestone and chalk.

ALL Australians are descended from immigrants.

Since the continent became separate before humans evolved.

You may not have reached the same potential. No way to tell.

I live in the superior north.
I've worked in the ******** of the south, looked into the kettles in hotels
and have been disgusted with what I saw in them.
