Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping from the spout

This typically indicates an issue with the internal valve or cartridge. Turn off the water supply and check if the handle is fully closed. If the problem persists, the cartridge may need to be serviced or replaced. Consult the user manual or a professional plumber.

Low water flow

Ensure the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 Bar is met. Check for any kinks in the flexible hoses. Remove and clean the aerator at the end of the spout to clear any debris. If the issue persists, check the isolation valves for full opening and ensure there are no blockages in the water supply lines.

Difficulty operating the handle

The handle may be stiff due to limescale buildup or a worn cartridge. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle (refer to the manual for instructions), and clean any visible limescale. If the problem persists, the cartridge might require replacement.

Water leaking from the base of the tap

Check that the tap is securely tightened to the basin and that the sealing between the tap base and the basin is intact. Ensure all connections beneath the basin are tight. If leaks continue, the internal seals may be compromised, requiring professional attention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a deck-mounted tap designed to be installed on a single tap hole in your basin or countertop. Ensure your plumbing system can meet the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 Bar. Connect the flexible hoses (usually provided with the tap or purchased separately) to your hot and cold water supply lines. Refer to the manufacturer's installation manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Compatibility:

  • Tap Holes: Requires one tap hole.
  • Water Pressure: Compatible with systems operating at 0.5 Bar or higher.
  • Waste Fitting: A compatible basin waste (usually with a standard 1.25" connection) needs to be purchased separately.

Care:

To maintain the pristine silver (chrome) finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a clean, soft cloth. Regular cleaning will prevent limescale buildup and keep the tap looking its best.
