Leaking faucets typically need to have the cartridge replaced. On one side of the cartridge is fresh water waiting to be released into the spout, and on the other side is a nut that turns with the faucet handle to stop or open the water flow. Because the cartridge performs its job quite literally under pressure, over time, the fittings can weaken and begin to allow water to leak through, wasting up to 300 gallons a year according to Denver Water. Accessing the cartridge is easy to do, and you can fix a leak on a Glacier Bay kitchen faucet with just a few simple tools. | Leaking faucets typically need to have the cartridge replaced.

A reverse osmosis (RO) faucet contains an in-line filtration system that works to remove ions, salts and contaminants from standard water. These systems use a semiporous membrane that allows these impurities to pass through, eliminating them from the water line. Though they are typically well made, RO faucets may need repairs from time to time just like any other faucet. Fortunately, fixing a leaky RO faucet is fairly straightforward. | |||
