Full details

The Balterley Chara Kitchen Tap in Matt Black is designed for homeowners seeking a modern and striking aesthetic in their kitchen. Its key benefit lies in its bold, fingerprint-resistant finish and user-friendly single lever operation, offering both style and convenience. A potential caveat is its minimum operating pressure requirement of 0.5 Bar, which should be confirmed with your home's water system. This tap features durable brass construction, ceramic disc technology for smooth operation, and a sleek design that complements contemporary and industrial kitchen styles.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the ceramic disc cartridge is properly seated and undamaged. Check for debris within the cartridge housing. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.

Low water flow

Verify that your water system meets the minimum 0.5 Bar operating pressure. Check for any blockages in the aerator or internal pipework. Ensure isolation valves are fully open.

Handle is stiff or loose

Check that the handle fixing screw is appropriately tightened. If stiffness persists, the internal mechanism may require lubrication or the cartridge may need attention.

Tap makes noise during operation

Ensure the water pressure is within the recommended range. Loose internal components or vibrations can sometimes cause noise; check for secure fittings.
