Everytime you turn on the faucet it spews water in your face. There is an embedded type screw holding it on and I can’t get this thing off. How do you do it? Thanks! 19 Jun 2002 at 10:44 am #292589 Bruce TParticipant yoor diafram is bad in yoor vakume braker! needs to be replased!Youl have to dril out the skrew and instal a knew vakume braker! dont discard this device, its there for your protection!
