Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
This is typically caused by a worn or damaged ceramic disc cartridge. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Low water flow
Check that the water supply is fully open. Unscrew and clean the aerator/diffuser at the end of the spout, as it may be clogged with debris. Also, check compatibility with your water pressure system; a minimum of 0.5 bar is required.
Splashing when water is on
Ensure the aerator/diffuser is clean and functioning correctly. If the issue persists, check if your water pressure is too high for the basin size, though the diffuser is designed to mitigate this.
Lever is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any obstructions around the lever mechanism. Ensure the tap is correctly installed and that no internal components are misaligned. Over time, mineral buildup can occur; gentle cleaning may help.
