HONOLULU (HI Now) - Learn how to easily fix a leaky faucet with products available in-store at City Mill. Using basic tools like a wrench, pliers, Teflon tape, and a faucet repair kit, you can quickly stop that annoying drip.

A single drip per second from a leaky faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons of water annually, enough to fill a backyard pool! This can also lead to higher water bills and long-term damage like wood rot, mold, and mildew under the sink.

In this interactive repair demonstration, City Mill will show you how to:

  • Turn off the water supply
  • Use a basin wrench or pliers to remove the faucet handle
  • Replace the worn-out cartridge or washer with parts from your repair kit
  • Reassemble the faucet, applying Teflon tape to threaded connections for a tight seal.

With a few simple steps, you can prevent water waste and avoid costly repairs down the line.
