My ITT Magna pump LD7AC pressure switch will not stay on or keep jets running. Whats the fix?
The ITT Magna pump LD7AC pressure switch is used to control the pressure in a water system. If the pressure switch is not staying on or the jets are not running, it could indicate a problem with the pressure switch or the water system. Here are some potential solutions to try:
- Check the air pressure: Make sure that the air pressure in the pressure tank is set correctly. If the air pressure is too low, the switch may not stay on.
- Check the pressure switch: Make sure that the pressure switch is properly adjusted and not damaged. The switch should be adjusted to turn on at the correct pressure and turn off at a slightly lower pressure.
- Check the water system: Make sure that the water system is not losing pressure. This could be due to a leak in the system or a clogged water filter.
- Check the electrical connections: Make sure that the electrical connections are secure and not corroded. Loose or corroded connections can cause the switch to malfunction.
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to seek professional assistance to diagnose and repair the problem. A qualified technician will be able to diagnose the issue and repair the pump or pressure switch as necessary.

Everpure faucet leaks at handle, how to fix ??
If your Everpure faucet is leaking at the handle, the problem could be a faulty O-ring or a worn-out cartridge. Here are the steps you can follow to fix the leak:
- Turn off the water supply: Before you start working on the faucet, make sure to turn off the water supply to prevent any accidents.
- Remove the handle: Use a screwdriver to remove the screw that holds the handle in place. Once the screw has been removed, you can gently pull the handle off the faucet.
- Check the O-ring: Look for an O-ring around the base of the handle. If the O-ring is damaged, worn or missing, it can cause water to leak from the handle.
- Replace the O-ring: If the O-ring is damaged, replace it with a new one. You can purchase O-rings at a hardware store or online.
- Check the cartridge: If the O-ring is in good condition, the problem could be a worn-out cartridge. You may need to remove the cartridge and replace it with a new one.
- Reassemble the faucet: Once the O-ring or cartridge has been replaced, reassemble the faucet by putting the handle back in place and tightening the screw.
- Turn on the water supply: Finally, turn the water supply back on and test the faucet to see if the leak has been fixed.
If you're having difficulty fixing the leak or if the problem persists, it may be best to contact Everpure customer support for further assistance. They can help you diagnose the problem and recommend the best solution.

How to remove the handle from a kohler faucet?
Once you have removed the screw from the handle, you may be able to gently pull the handle away from the valve. Some handles may have a small set screw on the side that needs to be loosened first. If the handle does not easily come off, gently tap it with a soft rubber mallet or use a handle puller tool to carefully remove it. If the handle is still stuck, consult the manufacturer's instructions or a plumber for further assistance.

Why does touchless water faucet only work when other faucet turned on?
It's possible that the solenoid valve in the touchless faucet is not functioning properly, and needs to be replaced. Another possibility is that there is a loose or broken wire in the electrical circuit that powers the solenoid valve. You may want to check the connections and wiring, and consult a plumber or electrician if necessary, to help diagnose and repair the issue.

Water flow is low on WR Kitchen Faucet.
i'm guessing ...but... take it off ..take it to the outside faucet or water hose hold the hose end tight on the faucet outlet and turn it on to back flush it what went in should come out .. but have you checked the screen on the spicket (where the water comes out) that usually unscrews an you will see a screen inside there that can get clogged in addition to several plastic aerator bits that can get clogged and this is a LOT easier than removing the faucet and back flushing it ..

The clip on my push pull faucet is frozen and will not move up or down any idea how I can get it to move. Thanks
- Try applying a penetrating oil such as WD-40 to the clip and moving it back and forth to help loosen any rust or debris that may be causing it to stick.
- Use a pair of pliers or a small wrench to gently grip the clip and try to move it up and down. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you don't want to damage the faucet.
- If the clip is still stuck, you may need to remove the faucet handle and access the clip from the inside. Depending on the design of your faucet, this may require removing a setscrew or using a special tool to access the clip.
