FAQs

Does the Blanco Lax work with low water pressure?

Yes, this model is designed to be compatible with both high and low-pressure plumbing systems.

What is the total height of the tap?

The total height of the unit is 31.8 cm.

Is the finish difficult to maintain?

The PVD steel finish is highly durable. Regular wiping with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient for maintenance.

What is the spout projection?

The spout features a projection of 211 mm, providing a good reach for most sink sizes.

Can I install this tap myself?

While installation is straightforward for those with plumbing experience, it is recommended to hire a professional plumber to ensure all connections are leak-free and compliant.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is significantly reduced

Check for debris in the aerator at the tip of the spout and clean if necessary.

Handles feel stiff or difficult to turn

Check for mineral buildup around the lever mechanism and clean; if the issue persists, the ceramic valve cartridge may need lubrication or replacement.

Dripping from the spout

The internal ceramic cartridge may have worn out and requires replacement to restore a perfect seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant high-arch design enhances kitchen aesthetics
  • Versatile compatibility with various water pressure systems
  • Precise dual-lever control for easy temperature adjustment
  • Durable construction ensures long-term operational reliability

Cons

  • Requires professional deck-mounted installation
  • Dual-lever design requires two-handed operation compared to single-lever mixers
  • Specific grey finish may require careful cleaning to avoid water spots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Blanco Lax is a deck-mounted fixture, meaning it requires a dedicated hole in the sink or countertop. Before installation, verify that your plumbing system is correctly configured for a mixer tap. To maintain the PVD steel finish, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool; instead, wipe the surface down with a soft damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to prevent mineral deposit buildup. Ensure the ceramic valves are inspected annually if the water in your area is particularly hard, as scale buildup can eventually impede smooth lever movement.
