How To Remove Pfister Bathroom Faucet Screen
Remove a Pfister bathroom faucet screen to clean or replace it. The screen is a small, mesh filter that helps to trap sediment and debris from entering the faucet. Over time, the screen can become clogged with mineral deposits or other debris, which can restrict water flow and cause the faucet to leak. Removing and cleaning the screen is a simple task that can be completed in a few minutes.
Before you begin, you will need to gather a few tools. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat head screwdriver, and a pair of pliers. You may also want to have a small bowl or cup to place the screen in as you remove it.
Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
The first step is to turn off the water supply to the faucet. There should be two shut-off valves under the sink, one for hot water and one for cold water. Turn both valves clockwise to turn off the water supply.
Step 2: Remove the Aerator
The aerator is the small, round piece at the end of the faucet spout. It is held in place by a retainer nut. Use the pliers to loosen the retainer nut and remove the aerator.
Step 3: Remove the Screen
The screen is located inside the aerator. Use the flat head screwdriver to pry the screen out of the aerator. Be careful not to damage the screen.
Step 4: Clean the Screen
The screen can be cleaned with a soft brush or a toothbrush. Use warm water and a mild detergent to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse the screen thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry completely.
Step 5: Reinstall the Screen
Once the screen is clean, it is time to reinstall it. Place the screen back into the aerator and use the flat head screwdriver to secure it in place.
Step 6: Reinstall the Aerator
Take the aerator and reinsert it into the faucet spout. Hand-tighten the retainer nut to secure the aerator in place.
Step 7: Turn On the Water Supply
Turn on the water supply to the faucet. Check for leaks and make sure that the faucet is working properly.
