Full details
The Ideal Standard Ceraplan Basin Mixer in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of modern elegance, precision engineering, and eco-friendly operation for their bathroom or cloakroom. Its key benefit is the enhanced user experience with a single lever, soft aerated flow, and easy installation via the EasyFix® system, reducing fitting time by up to 30%. A minor caveat is that the waste is not included and must be purchased separately. This deck-mounted, one-tap-hole mixer features a sleek design, FirmaFlow® ceramic disc cartridge, and water-saving features like a flow regulator and hot water limiter.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for this basin mixer?
The Ideal Standard Ceraplan Basin Mixer comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to terms and conditions. Please retain your proof of purchase.
Does this tap come with a waste fitting?
No, the waste fitting is not included with this basin mixer and must be purchased separately.
How does the aerator improve the water flow?
The aerator mixes air into the water stream, creating a softer, frothy, and more voluminous feel without increasing water consumption. It also helps to reduce splashing.
What does WRAS-approved mean?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the product has been tested and meets the high standards of water quality, safety, and efficiency required in the UK.
How can I clean the SmartShine chrome finish?
You can clean the SmartShine chrome finish by simply wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.
What is the flow rate of this tap?
This tap is fitted with a 5-liter per minute flow regulator to help conserve water.
Can this tap be installed on a countertop basin?
This is a deck-mounted tap designed for installation on a basin or worktop with a single tap hole. It is suitable for most standard basin types that accommodate this fitting.
Troubleshooting
No water flow from the tap
Check that the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible supply hoses. Verify the main water supply is active.
Dripping tap after closing the lever
The FirmaFlow® ceramic disc cartridge may require cleaning or replacement. Contact Ideal Standard customer service for assistance or replacement parts under warranty.
Weak water flow
Check if the flow regulator is installed correctly and not blocked. Clean the aerator by unscrewing it and rinsing away any debris. Ensure no other taps in the house are running simultaneously.
Water temperature is too hot or too cold
Adjust the single lever to the desired temperature. If the hot water is too limited, check the hot water limiter setting on the cartridge (refer to manufacturer instructions if adjustable). Ensure hot and cold water feeds are connected correctly.
Difficulty during installation
Review the EasyFix® system instructions provided. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly before tightening. If problems persist, consult a qualified plumber.
