Troubleshooting

Low water flow

Check that the isolation valves under the basin are fully open. Ensure the aerator (if present) is clean and free from debris. Verify there are no kinks in the water supply hoses.

Tap leaks from the handle

The valve cartridge may need tightening or replacing. Contact customer support or a qualified plumber for assistance.

Water temperature control is difficult

This is characteristic of manual valves. Adjust the hot and cold water flow slowly to achieve the desired temperature. Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly.

Chrome finish tarnishes quickly

Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tap is designed for deck mounting, meaning it installs directly onto the surface of your basin or countertop. Ensure you have a suitable basin with pre-drilled tap holes. Standard plumbing connections will be required. Due to the nature of plumbing installations, professional fitting is recommended to ensure correct operation and to validate the guarantee.

Compatibility: This tap uses a manual valve type and is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. Please note that the waste fitting is not included and must be purchased separately to complete the installation.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
