Hate. Perlick. Taps.

Sticking faucets can be avoided. Just ensure the taps are used daily. That’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

There will always be a day here or there where they’re not used.  Maybe you’re traveling or whatever.  I hit the taps pretty regularly but there’s no way I would have old-school, standard faucets.  No sir.

We like all of our faucets, the “old school” and the newer styles. About two dozen in my small collection. From different manufacturers. And they all get used at various times and applications.

Again, the traditional taps have never leaked. Never dripped. And if they do stick, a little warm water poured over them will loosen them up in a second or two.

When I’m on a trip, my wife gets the assignment of exercising the taps. Hmmmm…maybe that is why my beer disappears so fast!

Traditional taps never leaked and they are best in my experience too.
I also wanted to add that how traditional tap work:
The water pipe is connected to the bottom. Water is then held in a chamber until required. When you want water all you need to do is turn the handle anticlockwise which unscrews an internal valve and starts the flow of the water.

A friend had the same issue. After he cleaned the faucets, the leaks abated.

My problem appears to be solved…for now.

Leak problem solved by cleaning? If so, how long between cleaning?

How long did friend wait between cleanings?

If cleaning fixed the problem, was it mold? If so, good thing the taps were cleaned.
