Troubleshooting
Low water flow from the pull-down head
Check if the spray head nozzle is clogged with limescale and clean it gently with a mild descaling solution.
Leaking around the base of the handle
Ensure the internal cartridge is tightened properly; if the leak persists, the internal valve may require service by a professional.
Spray head does not retract fully
Check the weight located on the supply hose under the sink; ensure it is not obstructed by pipes or cabinet items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard 35mm diameter mounting hole in the countertop or sink. The tap includes 550mm connection hoses, making it compatible with most standard under-sink plumbing setups. As it features a single-lever design, it is best suited for high-pressure systems to ensure consistent flow.
To care for your tap:
- Use only a soft cloth and mild soap to clean the surface.
- Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals which may damage the PVD copper finish.
- Periodically inspect the spray head to ensure no limescale buildup affects the flow.
