Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridge Technology
The ceramic 1/4-turn cartridges inside this faucet function much like a pair of exceptionally flat, polished ceramic plates that slide across one another. When you turn the cross handle, these plates align to let water flow or seal tightly against each other to stop it completely. Because ceramic is nearly as hard as diamond, it resists the wear and tear caused by mineral buildup and debris, ensuring smooth operation and preventing annoying drips over years of daily use.
