Troubleshooting
Low water flow rate

Handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the tap has been installed without over-tightening the base nuts, which can cause internal friction on the cartridge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: These taps are designed for deck-mounted installation. Ensure your basin has standard two-hole drilling before beginning. Follow the included manual to secure the mounting hardware and connect your water supply lines.
Compatibility: The taps require a minimum system pressure of 0.5 Bar. It is recommended to check your home plumbing system pressure before purchase to ensure adequate flow.
Care: Clean the surface using only a soft damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges, acidic cleaners, or bleach-based chemicals, as these will damage the brushed gold finish.
