Why was my question deleted about Jado Classic Roman Tub faucet leaking badly?
Hello Vanessa
I am here for about 10 to 12 hours a day and don't recognize the question. I answer most of them regarding plumbing. We do have a member who appears to delete questions to gain points. I have called him out, but nothing back from him. He has far too many points for the number of questions he has answered. I answer about 60 a day or more. Another issue is that we have an AI Answer Bot from India name Raja Akeem Akhter answering questions in a very vague and inaccurate manner, and I know the IT Department are deleting his answers. I hope they aren't deleting the questions rather than the answers! Very often the answer will be mentioned in the email you get from Fixya.
Anyway sorry about that experience, let's try and fix the issue you have with your faucet.

So you are having issues removing the decorative cover that hides the cartridge top? There is a trick. Take one of the thin plastic bags that your fresh produce comes in from the supermarket and make a hole in the bottom. Feed or over the handle and slide it down to the bottom of the fitting. Tape around the bottom and squirt a liberal amount of WD40 down into the bag. It will penetrate up into the threads. Over the space of 24 hours give it another couple of shots of WD40. Then remove the bag. Clean the bell and put 3 wraps of duct tape about the bell. Then you can use Channel Lock Pliers to apply pressure and remove the cover.

Hammering or knocking
If you do not have an expansion tube on your hot water heater that might help.

How do I remove faucet handle
Depends on the type of handle. If you have both hoe and cold handles they can usually be removed by prying off the cap that has "C" or "H" on it. Under that there will be a Phillips screw.
Single handle have hex key set screws on the back or under side. Use can back that out with an "Allen" wrench.
Cold water faucet on jetline
this is a sign of water with a high level of lime and other chemical that are in you water. Are you on a well? If so have your water tested. If your on city water have your water tested. DO YOUR OWN TESTING. You can fine many compaines around you. They will tell you how to take a smaple and you send it off to them.
The reason for doing this is so you have proof you can show the city what is is the water and then let them do what they can do to fix it.
Now you will have to remove the stem of the faucet and clean all the parts and install new o rings and any other rubber sections.
Why COLD water, the water heater acts as a filter and thats why you should drain out the tank using the hose bib on the bottom, I just posted a tip on water heaters. Read it and you will see the other good it does to clean your heater,
Have a good day and be safe
Tom ( how did we do ?) :)
Just installed a Jado Basil Single-Handle
The specs say that there are two check valves but the diagram does not show them. Take the weight off the hose and see if it is causing the restriction. If it is not, what is the water pressure in the house? The 2.2 GPM is the maximum flow rate.
