FAQs

Can this basin waste be used with any sink?

This waste is designed for most standard round basins and is compatible with both slotted (with overflow) and unslotted (without overflow) sinks, offering wide versatility.

How do I operate the push button?

Simply press the top of the button once to close the drain and prevent water from running away. Press it again to open the drain and allow water to escape.

What does 'slotted & unslotted' mean for this waste?

It means the waste is designed to work with sinks that have an overflow hole (slotted) and also with sinks that do not have an overflow hole (unslotted).

How often should I clean the basin waste?

For optimal performance and to maintain the finish, it is recommended to clean the waste regularly, at least weekly, using a soft damp cloth.

What materials is this waste made from?

It is manufactured from high-quality, strong, and reliable materials designed to resist rust and corrosion for dependable performance.

Is this waste easy to install?

The waste is designed for straightforward installation with standard basins. Basic plumbing knowledge is recommended, and installation guides are typically provided.

What is covered by the 1-year manufacturer's guarantee?

The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and issues arising from normal use. It provides peace of mind that the product is backed by reliable manufacturer support for one year from the date of purchase.

Troubleshooting

Waste is not sealing properly, leading to leaks.

Ensure all rubber seals are correctly positioned and not damaged. Tighten the retaining nut securely, but do not overtighten, which could damage the seal. Check that the basin surface where the seal sits is clean and free from debris.

Push button mechanism is stiff or not operating smoothly.

Check for any obstructions around the push rod. The internal mechanism may require a gentle cleaning with a mild detergent and water, followed by thorough drying. Ensure the waste is not installed at an extreme angle that could affect the rod's movement.

Water drains very slowly.

The drain may be partially blocked. Remove the push-button mechanism and clean any debris from the pop-up stopper and the waste outlet. Check for blockages further down the trap or pipework.

Discoloration or tarnishing of the brushed brass finish.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If tarnishing occurs, consult a specialist bathroom cleaner suitable for brushed brass finishes, following instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves securing the waste from underneath the basin, using the provided rubber seals and retaining nut. Ensure a watertight seal. For basins with an overflow, connect the overflow pipe to the designated outlet on the waste body. For basins without an overflow, this connection can be capped or ignored, depending on the specific model and installation guide.

Compatibility: This waste is designed to fit standard UK and European basin sizes. It is suitable for both slotted (basins with an overflow hole) and unslotted (basins without an overflow hole) configurations, offering broad applicability.

Care: To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a clean, soft cloth.
