Troubleshooting
Tap not dispensing water or flow is weak.
Check if the water pressure meets the minimum requirements (0.5 bar for bath, 0.1 bar for basin). Ensure isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Check for any blockages in the aerator or connecting pipes.
Tap drips when turned off.
This usually indicates an issue with the ceramic disc cartridge. Although durable, if a drip persists, the cartridge may need to be replaced. Consult a professional plumber if unsure.
Lever is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the lever mechanism. Check for proper installation. If stiffness persists, the internal cartridge may require lubrication or replacement.
Finish appears dull or stained.
Clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Regular cleaning will maintain the brushed brass finish.
