<h1 class="subject">How can i make my push-down faucets last longer?</h1>

I have the faucets in my bathroom where you push either the hot or cold seperately and the water comes out for a few seconds before shutting off. Does anyone know how i can make the water flow last longer? Its very difficult to wash your hands when you have to keep pressing it down.

Turn off the water supply under the sink and remove the push buttons. They are spring actuated and there MAY be an adjustment nut you can turn to allow more flow before shutting off.

there is a way to adjust the "metering" of a push type stem on most of the popular brands....

if i knew the brand i could tell you.... id say pull the handle and shut to water supplies off below the faucet pull the stem and check with the manufatures website to see how to prolong the metering of that type of push button faucet

REMOVE THE CAP & ADJUST THE SCREW ON SPRING TENSION . & REPLACE CAP.

By not pushing down as hard. When you do you crush the washer that is between the button and the valve.
