It is important to carry out maintenance on a single-handle faucet for its correct operation, also because this type of faucet has mostly replaced the classic screw faucets found in domestic bathrooms. Instead of a screw with gasket, it has a “cartridge\u201d which, actuated by the handle, mixes and dispenses water. The \u201ccartridge\u201d is cylindrical and is made of plastic or ceramic material. It has various inlet and outlet holes that allow the mixing and delivery of hot and cold water depending on the movement and positioning of the handle.

The cartridge is also subject to faults: it may no longer allow water to pass through, or it may not mix well, or it may only allow hot or cold water to flow out.
