Product Information

Damage to Other Components: Faulty valves can affect other parts of the plumbing system, leading to more extensive repairs. I turn up with one of my best policemen and it turns out that this brilliant policeman proves to be a baboon. Wear and Tear: Constant use can lead to the wearing down of the valve’s internal components, affecting its ability to control water flow smoothly.

Professional Intervention: In more severe cases, a professional plumber may need to assess and modify the plumbing system to mitigate the issue. Potential Risks of Ignoring Water Hammering Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection by a professional plumber can prevent valve issues from developing in the first place. Potential Risks of Ignoring Faulty Shut-off ValvesThe catchy horn riff that anchors the song was played by saxophonist John Cameron, who also played on the famous theme song to the TV show "Magnum, P.I." The lyrics to CCS's song "Tap Turns on the Water" are somewhat enigmatic, and open to interpretation. The song starts by asking if the listener has ever glimpsed their sister naked, or tried to drink all night, before describing the feeling of sweating and turning white. The second verse concerns "cutting out" and returning to the window, where it seems the war has gone out. However, the chorus is the most intriguing part of the song: "Tap turns on the water, see the waters flow/A corn makes a forest, watch the forest grow/Everything's behind you, everything's become/Come and ride a river, come and find the sun."

The chorus suggests that there is a release of energy or emotion happening, as represented by the flow of water and the growth of a forest. This release is perhaps related to the sense of cutting out or leaving behind something that is wrong or difficult, as discussed in the second verse. The idea of finding the sun, or a light or hope, is also present. The song seems to suggest that there is a moment of transformation possible, and that the listener should seize it while they can. The chorus lyrics have been interpreted in different ways over the years, with some seeing a political or environmental message in the talk of "corn" and "forests." Clean with a Vinegar Solution: If scale build-up is the issue, a mixture of white vinegar and water can dissolve the mineral deposits. Soaking a cloth in the solution and wrapping it around the valve for a couple of hours can be effective.
