Roz Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi everyone, hope lockdown is treating you ok.. Does anyone know if this tap is just shit or if it can be sorted out? It was about £80 so not the cheapest but admittedly not super expensive. It's an Eastbrook tap. If the video doesnt play then the problem is that when you switch the tap off, it keeps on dribbling for a good while. IMG_5946_(1).mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 That looks normal to me. What you are seeing is the time taken for the water in the spout to drain down. So nothing "wrong" with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Harris Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 This is normal for a tap like this that has a fairly horizontal spout. As @ProDave says, it's just the water in the spout draining out. This isn't anywhere as noticeable on a tap with a vertical inverted U shaped spout, as they only drain the bit of the spout at the top, the vertical bit stays full of water after the tap is shut off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Some taps try and inhibit this behaviour by putting a bit of gauze in the outlet, but that has the effect of making the tap appear to stop quicker, but then to drip drip drip for some time (our basin tap does that) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
