FAQs

What is the main benefit of the waterfall spout?

The waterfall spout provides a visually appealing, cascading water effect that adds a modern touch to your bathroom, offering a different aesthetic from traditional focused streams.

Does this tap come with the connecting hoses?

Yes, the tap comes with flexible tails for easy installation. The inlet connection size is F1/2*M10*1*400mm.

What is the warranty period for this mixer tap?

The Aurora Dakota Basin Mixer Tap comes with a 5-year guarantee for peace of mind.

How do I clean the black finish to keep it looking new?

Clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always dry it afterwards with a clean cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the finish. Avoid abrasive cleaning products.

Can this tap be installed on any basin?

This tap is designed for basins with a single tap hole. Ensure your basin has a compatible hole for installation.

What water pressure is recommended for this tap?

The tap performs well across a range of pressures, with specific flow rates detailed at 0.5 bar (8.4 l/min), 1 bar (11.7 l/min), and 3 bar (20.1 l/min). It is generally compatible with standard household water pressure.

What does the ceramic cartridge do?

The ceramic cartridge is a durable internal component that controls the flow and mixing of hot and cold water, ensuring smooth operation and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping after being turned off.

This could indicate debris in the ceramic cartridge or a worn seal. Check for blockages and ensure the lever is fully in the off position. If the problem persists, the cartridge may need replacement. Contact customer support if within the warranty period.

Low water flow.

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator (if applicable, though waterfall spouts may not have one) for blockages. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses. Verify that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirement.

Difficulty adjusting water temperature.

Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap. Check for any blockages in the supply lines or within the tap's internal pathways leading to the cartridge. If consistent, the cartridge may require servicing or replacement.

Tap is loose on the basin.

Tighten the securing nut or bracket underneath the basin. Ensure all mounting hardware is securely fastened, but do not overtighten, which could damage the basin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Saves space with its single tap hole design.
  • Provides precise control over water temperature and flow.
  • Modern waterfall spout design adds a stylish, contemporary element.
  • Durable construction with a ceramic cartridge.
  • Easy installation with included flexible tails.
  • Attractive black finish complements modern bathrooms.

Cons

  • Black finish may show water spots or require more frequent cleaning depending on water hardness.
  • Waterfall spout may not be preferred by those seeking a traditional water stream.
  • Requires a single tap hole, limiting installation to compatible basins.
  • Specific inlet connection size may require adapter verification for some existing plumbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The tap is designed for installation on a single tap hole basin. Ensure your basin has a suitable hole. Connect the included flexible tails (Inlet connection size: F1/2*M10*1*400mm) to your hot and cold water supply lines. Always turn off the main water supply before installation. It is recommended that installation is performed by a qualified plumber.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. Ensure your water pressure meets the recommended operating range for optimal performance. The single tap hole requirement is crucial for fitting.

Care: To maintain the sleek black finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots. For internal components, the ceramic cartridge ensures long-term functionality without regular user maintenance.
