How to remove a single hole kitchen faucet

First shut off water to faucet and second unless you installed it which sounds as if you did not under the sink and behind you'll see the faucet attached with a single nut that unscrews. Typically when you get a new single hole they come with their own wrench to install and remove it. You need to first see if you can get a pair of channel locks on the nut and just slightly loosen the nut. From there disconnect the supply lines loose from the copper lines coming off of the faucet. Careful; copper is soft.. Once you unscrew the supply lines, have a bowl handy to put the water into. Reach under again and hold the large nut and unscrew the entire assy from the top. I found this the easiest. gently bend the copper supply lines inward so that they will exit. To install, clean sink surface and be certain to check the washers inside the supply lines. If they are old, you should install new ones to prevent future leaks. Tighten the new faucet with the new wrench and keep it under the sink for future and be careful tightening the new supplu lines because you van actually twist the copper from the new faucet. Snug is good. You've done it!

My pump is humming but not pumping the water, what

You are right, it is not running since there is no water
that goes out. It is just humming - which be due to
stucked impeller or busted starting capacitor. Let's start with checking up the impeller. Unscrew the strainer, and take it off. At the suction port, try turning the impeller by your finger. This is to check if it is stucked. If it is stucked, open the bolt holding the impeller case, so that you can free the impeller from
being stucked. Once the impeller is free, you can assemble the pump and switch it on and make it run.
If it doesn't run, then the final touch is to replace the
starting capacitor at the topcase of trash pump. In
doing this, make sure that in the reassembly of the top case, you must maintain the right force to close
the top case bolts water tight. Just send you e-mail
for further assistance. God Bless you.

How and from were I have to release air trapped in to the pump

air will not be trapped in the pump. what you have to do is prime the pump so that the vacuum is filled with water the vacuum is created by expelling water which in turn sucks in more water and so on. if the pump is full of air ,there is nothing to expel and so no water is sucked up there should be a plug at the top of the pump for the purpose of priming. remove it , fill the pump and suction line and replace the plug

I have a Rohl kitchen faucet There are greenish white particles collecting in the screen at the head of the faucet. It clogs and water is greatly comprimized

"lime scale deposits." That's lime scale, or scale deposit, forms because your tap water is "hard" with dissolved minerals. Pure lime scale is white, But your lime scale can turn green from copper pipes or fixtures. You don't need to replace your faucet. You could install a under cabinet filter. Or a whole house filter that would help allot.

The drain pipe is blocked by some rubbish at the elbow ,what can I if cannot drain water?

Depending on how wide the pipe is you need something long, thin and flexible to break up the blockage. You can buy wire drain clearing tools for household drains quite cheaply and larger outdoor drains might need more specialist tools so it is better to pay a specialist to do it for you.

Sink faucet has little pressure all others are fine

  1. Check the aerator: The aerator is a small mesh screen located at the end of the faucet spout. Over time, mineral buildup can clog the aerator and reduce water flow. Unscrew the aerator from the spout and clean it with a toothbrush and vinegar or a solution of water and baking soda. Rinse it thoroughly and reattach it.
  2. Check the supply valves: Make sure that the supply valves under the sink are fully open. Turn them off and on a few times to loosen any debris that may be stuck in the valves.
  3. Check the water pressure regulator: If your home has a water pressure regulator, it may be malfunctioning. A faulty regulator can cause low water pressure in certain areas of your home. Contact a plumber to check and replace the regulator if necessary.
  4. Check for leaks: Check for leaks in the pipes under the sink or in the supply line. A leak can reduce water pressure and cause other problems.
  5. Call a plumber: If you have tried these steps and the problem persists, it may be time to call a professional plumber. A plumber can diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action to restore normal water pressure to your sink faucet.

Sta-rite mse-7 vertical jet well pump will not prime.

If your Sta-rite vertical mse-7 pump will not prime, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the water level: Make sure the water level in the pool or spa is high enough to reach the skimmer and the pump. Low water levels can cause the pump to lose prime.
  2. Check the skimmer basket: Make sure the skimmer basket is clean and free of debris. A clogged skimmer basket can restrict water flow and prevent the pump from priming.
  3. Check the pump lid O-ring: Make sure the pump lid O-ring is in good condition and properly seated. A damaged or misaligned O-ring can cause air leaks and prevent the pump from priming.
  4. Check the suction plumbing: Check the suction plumbing for leaks, cracks, or other damage. Any air leaks on the suction side of the pump can cause loss of prime.
  5. Check the impeller: If the impeller is damaged or clogged with debris, it can prevent the pump from priming. Remove the pump basket and inspect the impeller for damage or debris. Clean or replace the impeller as needed.
  6. Check the pump seal: If the pump seal is damaged, it can allow air to enter the pump and prevent priming. Inspect the pump seal for damage and replace it if necessary.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, you may need to call a professional pool service technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

Black water comes from bathroom faucet when turned on for a secound

If black water comes out of the bathroom faucet when you turn it on, it could be an indication of a serious problem with your plumbing system. Here are some steps you can take to address the issue:

Turn off the water supply:
The first step is to turn off the water supply to your home. This will prevent any more black water from coming out of the faucet.
Identify the source of the problem:
The black water could be caused by a number of factors, such as rust in the pipes, sediment buildup, or contamination. It is important to identify the source of the problem before taking any further steps.
Flush the system:
Once you have identified the source of the problem, you can flush the system to remove any sediment or rust buildup. Turn on all of the faucets in your home, including the one that was releasing black water, and let the water run for several minutes. This will help to clear out the pipes and remove any debris.
Call a plumber:
If the problem persists after flushing the system, or if you are unable to identify the source of the problem, it is recommended that you call a licensed plumber. A professional plumber will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action to resolve it.
In summary, if black water comes out of your bathroom faucet, it is important to turn off the water supply, identify the source of the problem, flush the system, and call a plumber if necessary.

Ofcourse it’s best to call a professional
