HiHi!
I have a bit of a dilemmaevery six months or so our kitchen sink tap just stops working, we turn it on and no water comes out, except a bit of dripping. We leave it in the *up on* position for a couple hours (a day or so) and it begins to drip harder until we turn it off, with force, and then turn it back on and it works. However, it has been two day, and it is not coming back on, it is dripping ever so slightly, but it wont come back on...we have the aerator (thingy) off. and we aren't so handy...maybe we should just purchase a new sink tap?? Please help!

no, not in Switzerland or Manitoba, or wherever...umm, but does the side sprayer have something to do with anything - cause it hasn't worked for a while? Any other suggestions? Please ?:confused:

hey Red,
there was a guy got pulled over by the cops. They asked him, "where you from¿" He replied, "oh here and there" Cop says, "where you going¿" Guy smiles, "maybe somewhere near, maybe somewhere far." Cop jails him and in court he asks the judge, "when am I gonna get out¿" Judge smirks, "sooner or later."

I like the way Tom Mabe asks it in the taped phone conversation that Cookie posted where a telemarketer gets pranked.


"Geographically speaking where are you from?"
"If I want to mail your @$$ a letter what do I write on the envelope?"

There was a good reason for asking this question and Rugged was not being funny...
This is an internet forum and we have no idea were you are posting from.
In some countries the plumbing is very different from what we have in the US.
The reason why your kitchen faucet stops flowwing could be very different if you were in the UK for instance vs. the US.

Well I'm going to keep asking useless questions because you started a thread missing the most crucial piece of information,



the brand name of the faucet. When the word "taps" is used, it usually is somewhere outside united states, especially when mm specs are mentioned.


So.....brazil? Maybe North Shore India? How about Cleese Mountains?
