FAQs
What is the lifespan of the FirmaFlow® ceramic cartridge?
The FirmaFlow® ceramic cartridge is designed for a lifespan of 500,000 cycles, which is significantly longer than the industry average and is expected to last over 10 years with normal use.
How does BlueStart® technology save energy?
BlueStart® technology ensures that when the lever is in the central position, only cold water is dispensed. The boiler or water heater will only activate if the lever is intentionally moved to the left, thus preventing unnecessary energy consumption for tasks that do not require hot water.
What does WRAS-approved mean?
WRAS approval indicates that the product has been tested and complies with the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards in the UK, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and does not waste water.
Is this tap suitable for low-pressure water systems?
While the tap is designed for standard UK plumbing, performance on very low-pressure systems may vary. It is recommended to check your water system's pressure before installation.
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The tap comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to their terms and conditions. Please retain your proof of purchase.
Can I replace the flow regulator if needed?
The flow regulator is an integrated part of the tap's performance. If you experience issues related to flow, it's best to consult the troubleshooting guide or contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
Tap is not dispensing water
Check that the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Ensure the flexible tails are not kinked or blocked.
Low water pressure
Verify that the flow regulator is not blocked. Check for any debris in the flexible hose connections. Ensure mains water pressure is adequate.
Tap drips when turned off
This may indicate an issue with the FirmaFlow® ceramic cartridge. Contact the manufacturer for potential replacement or servicing under warranty.
BlueStart® is not working (hot water dispensing from middle)
Ensure the lever is only moved to the left for hot water. If hot water dispenses from the middle position, the cartridge may need adjustment or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The EasyFix® system is designed for straightforward installation. The tap requires a single tap hole and comes with flexible tails and 15mm compression rings for faster fitting. It is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connection and optimal performance.
Compatibility: This is a deck-mounted kitchen mixer tap. Ensure you have a suitable single tap hole on your sink or countertop. It is designed to work with standard UK plumbing systems.
Care: To maintain the Silver Storm finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. For limescale build-up, a mild descaler can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth.
