Understanding Ceramic Disc Cartridge Technology
The internal mechanism that keeps your water flowing smoothly and prevents annoying drips is the ceramic disc cartridge. Think of it like a pair of exceptionally flat, polished ceramic plates that slide past one another as you turn the lever handles. When aligned, water passes through freely; when offset, they form a watertight seal that stops flow instantly. Unlike old-fashioned rubber washers that wear down and compress over time, ceramic discs are highly resistant to mineral buildup and friction, resulting in reliable, long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
Installation Guide
Ensure the bathtub deck has three pre-drilled holes spaced correctly to match the 78CR102 rough-in requirements before beginning installation.
Shut off the main water supply lines to the bathroom before removing any existing plumbing fixtures or connecting new supply hoses.
Apply plumber tape or approved thread sealant to threaded connections to ensure a secure, leak-free seal beneath the tub deck.
Test both hot and slow cold water flow through the ceramic disc valves slowly after installation to flush out any construction debris before regular use.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Drying Wipe down the polished chrome surface with a soft microfiber cloth after each use to prevent water spots and mineral accumulation.
Gentle Cleaning Use mild liquid dish soap and warm water for routine cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical scouring powders that can scratch the finish.
Aerator Maintenance Periodically unscrew and clean the spout aerator to remove any accumulated sediment or scale for an even, splash-free water stream.
Avoid Abrasives Never use steel wool, abrasive scrubbing pads, or acidic cleaners containing bleach or ammonia on the chrome plating.
Handle Care Keep the area around the base of the round lever handles clean and dry to ensure smooth rotation of the internal ceramic cartridges.
