How do you fix low water pressure due to calcium build up?

If you notice reduced pressure in one of your faucets and not other faucets, and notice that the flow is reduced in both the hot and cold sides of the same faucets then it is probably your aerator. If it is only on one side of your faucet (hot or cold side) then it is probably a mineral buildup in the valve of the faucet (you can clean that side or replace the valves components.) You can also try to loosen the mineral deposits by... first removing the aerator then turn off the supply line valve ( the valve under the sink, several times) to try and dislodge the mineral deposit; if you leave the drain stopper closed and place a dark colored wash rage in the sink, you may notice the deposits flowing through the faucet. While you have the aerator removed clean that or replace it, they are cheap.) If all this fails then you will probably have to replace the valve under the sink.

How do you paint metal faucet handles?

AnswerMake sure you use spray paint intended specifically for use on metal, and always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Here are the directions as laid out by ehow.com. Good luck!Step 1Turn off the water supply to your faucets at the shut-off valves. Relieve the pressure in the faucets by turning on the hot and the cold faucets.Step 2 Remove the hot and cold supply tubes to the faucet with your adjustable wrench. Unscrew the nuts under the faucet with your basin wrench. You may need to use penetrating oil to get the nuts to turn. Make sure you are turning them the right way: remember lefty loosy, righty tighty. Remove the nuts and scrape away the old plumbers putty with a putty knife.Step 3 Remove the faucets, dry them, and place them on newspaper or plastic in a well ventilated area. Sand every inch of the faucet surface using a 220 grit sandpaper. If you miss a spot, the paint will not adhere to the faucet. Wipe the sanded faucets with a damp cloth and let them dry completely.Step 4 Spray an even coat of metal primer over your faucets and let it dry to the manufacturer's recommendations.Step 5 Spray an even coat of metal paint on the faucets and let it dry to the manufacturer's recommendations. Spray a second coat of paint and let it dry.Step 6 Spray a coat of lacquer topcoat for metal and let it dry. Then spray another layer of topcoat and let it dry.Step 7 Wrap all of the inlet fittings of your faucets with Teflon tape for a tight seal before reconnecting the hook-ups. Reconnect your faucets, applying plumber's putty as needed for a tighter seal. Turn the water back on and make sure you don't have any leaks.


What battle is considered to be turning point of the war?

The turning point of the American Civil War was actually not a battle. On July 4, 1863 the Confederate forces at Vicksburg surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant following a long siege at the end of a protracted campaign. This closed the Mississippi to Southern traffic, allowing the Federal forces to strike with impunity anywhere in the Mississippi Valley, and preventing the South from receiving reinforcements and supplies from the trans-Mississippi states of Texas and Arkansas. It opened the way to Sherman's March, which eliminated the South's capacity to wage war by destroying its ability to supply its troops.
