At ANO we are getting an increased number of calls regarding reduced flow from faucet heads and even leaks. When we investigate these issue we are discovering a large amount of debris in the heads and cartridges.
Because of the low rainfall and high heat this summer in the Midwest many wells including
municipal wells are at lower than normal levels. This condition causes more sediments to be stirred up into the water supply and into the faucets.
The heat and lack of rain has all cause more summer water main breaks than usual. This is cause by uneven settling of dried out soils under mains. These breaks have also added to the amount of debris into the water supply.
If you have a reduced flow remove the aerator on the faucet. Like the picture that accompanies this article you may see debris caught in the aerator. If it is in the aerator it is likely in the head and can cause reduced flow. If it gets caught in the cartridge it can cause a leak.
If you have any of these problems with your Eclipse you can contact ANO, Inc. and we will get you back up in no time with quality Eclipse parts.
