whistling water

Jan 31, 2009 7 Replies

Hi everyone! I've enjoyed reading thru your posts and this seems like a saavy group. Hope you don't mind if I jump in with a question.



My daughter and I installed a new faucet set in the bathroom and it looks and works great, but whenever we turn on either water tap it whistles. Anybody know what went wrong and/or how to quiet it down.

Might be trapped air in the lines or the new fixture. Try removing the aerator and running the faucet (hot and cold) full blast for at least 60 seconds.

Single or double handle? Could be a defective seal, washer, cartridge or a piece of gunk lodged in there. Could be the aerator. Take it off and try it and look to see if something is in the passages in the aerator.

Its new Gov code, it whistles to annoy you so you dont use it and waste water, Just Kidding.

Make sure the shut-off valves are fully open.

Cheers, Jim
