What should you do if you have changed the seat and cartridge many times on your hot water tap in the bathtub and it only lasts for a few days and leaks again?

Only a suggestion...you may try turning off the power, or gas, to the heater and attaching a hose to the tap at the bottom, opening the tap and allowing the tank to "flush out". It's possible you have heavy build-up of sediment and it is being stirred up by the incoming cold water when you use your hot water. Other than the flushing the only other way to clear the tank, if sediment is the culprit, is to turn off the power/gas, drain the tank, and remove the lower element and "scooping" out the sediment with whatever you can fabricate for a small shovel...or use a small vaccum attachment on a shop vac...If all else fails...put a filter in the line.

Has a washer on the end of a spindle that rises as the tap is turned on. A simple, rugged mechanism that lasts for years. And dripping taps are not such a problem.

Mechanism imposes less wear on the washer. The circlip, that holds the mechanism in place. Them align and water flows.

Debris is unlikely to interfere with the close fit of the discs. This is described for leaking and dripping ceramic taps above. Down turns the water on and off.

Gradually increases the temperature, by mixing more hot water with the cold. Basin mixer,Two-hole bath mixer Three-hole basin mixer Shower-mixer deck. Traditional taps are made with a rising spindle.

Spindle that doesn't revolve reduces wear on the washer. Replaced with rotating ceramic discs. If you have leaking taps on your gas boiler then this can be a more specialist area.

A leaking boiler may mean you need a boiler replacement to solve the problem if the boiler is very old.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
