FAQs

What type of basin is this tap compatible with?

This is a high-rise mono basin mixer tap specifically designed for use with countertop or vessel basins that do not have any pre-drilled tap holes.

Do I need to purchase a basin waste separately?

Yes, this tap requires a separate basin waste, which is not included with the product. You will need to purchase one compatible with your basin.

How do I clean and maintain the brushed brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots and maintain the finish's longevity.

What does 'mono basin mixer' mean?

'Mono' refers to a single tap hole, meaning this mixer controls both hot and cold water from one spout and is operated by a single lever or handles, unlike 'dual' taps which have separate hot and cold controls.

What is ceramic disc technology?

Ceramic disc technology uses two durable ceramic discs that slide against each other to control water flow and temperature. This method is highly effective at preventing leaks and drips, offering greater longevity than traditional washer systems.

Is the brass used in the tap lead-free?

Yes, the tap is crafted from solid lead-free brass, ensuring durability and compliance with health and safety standards.

How do the crosshead handles operate?

The hot tap typically turns clockwise to open and counter-clockwise to close, while the cold tap operates in the reverse direction. This provides intuitive control over water flow and temperature.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the base or spout.

Check that all connections are securely tightened. Ensure the ceramic disc cartridge is properly seated and that no debris is present. If the leak persists, the cartridge may need replacement.

Low water flow from the spout.

Check the aerator at the tip of the spout for any blockages (e.g., limescale or debris) and clean it. Ensure water supply valves are fully open and there are no kinks in the flexible hoses. Check for blockages in the basin waste if flow is also slow from the basin itself.

Hot and cold water are not mixing correctly.

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap inlets. Ensure both hot and cold water supplies are functioning properly independently.

Handles are stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure no debris has entered the valve mechanism. If the stiffness is due to limescale, a descaling solution might be needed (follow product instructions carefully). If persistent, the internal valve may require servicing.
