If you are turning the head part continuously and the water is not turning off then the head part has stripped and needs replacing

Why does the cold water tap start cool then turn to hot then back to and stays cold?

Because, somewhere between where the cold water enters the house and the tap, the water resting in the pipe passes through a warm room. So you have to flush all that warm water out of the line before the cold water from outside gets to the tap.

Is sink water tap water?

Yes. The water going to your house comes out of a "tap," which is an open/closed valve. In a house, this is usually a faucet though the valve you turn on to get water from the house is also a tap. Water in a well or a lake does not have one, and is therefore not "tapped." Similarly, a soda fountain is tapped (since you turn it on to fill up your cup and turn it off when through), and beer that is "on tap" is poured directly into a glass instead of just opening a bottle (which is not tapped.) own as a tap.

A bib tap is a plumbing part. This is what allows the water to flow when you turn on your faucet and is what stops the water flow when it is turned off.


Why does the flow of water decreases in the tap when person open other tap in the same building?

This happens because the water heater is in the roof or in the basement. When you turn a tap it takes water up or down from the heater down a single pipe. When you turn a second a tap the water being taken down that single pipe is slipt down two pipes and so less water gets taken to a single tap as its being shared.
