Monday, September 10th, 2012

A leaking tap is a great reason to upgrade old and worn out taps.
Sometimes tap repairs can cost nearly as much as replacing tired and leaking taps,
The fantastic range shown in the image below made my mouth water and I will replace our kitchen sink taps as part of our upcoming spring makeover!

If you’re considering tap repairs or upgrades have a look around at what is available at all the reputable suppliers.
Just like the image above there are sooooooooo many choices.

I had to share this.
Whilst enjoying the 15th annual Sculptures by the Sea on the world famous Bondi to Bronte walk last weekend, I was thinking about taps and changing tap washers.
Like most things, changing a tap washer is pretty easy, if you know how.
I’ve never thought of taps as a big problem if, like most of our household plumbing they are maintained.
Then I walked around Mackenzies Point and saw this………


Ahhhhh plumbers paradise.
It confirmed what I already know.
That taps are to be treasured and treated with respect, loved and caressed. Because if we don’t, they won’t do as they are designed to, deliver us water when we need it!

Our next post will get you started on how to change your tap washers, and some insight into our upcoming taps tutorial at The Lone Drainer and Pronto World Headquarters.
We will feature WSDs, What? you ask. Yep Water Saving Devices.
Plumbing is very cool isn’t it!
