Step 6 · Reassembly and Final Test
Once the cartridges are cleaned or replaced and reinstalled, reassemble the faucet by reattaching the handles. Reconnect the hot and cold supply lines to the faucet, ensuring they are snug but not overtightened. With the faucet handles in the 'off' position, slowly turn the water back on at the shutoff valves. Check carefully for any leaks around the supply line connections and the base of the handles. If everything is dry, turn on the faucet and test for water pressure. The flow should now be fully restored.
