FAQs
What is WRAS approval?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval means the tap has been tested and meets the high standards set by UK water regulations, ensuring it is safe, hygienic, and prevents waste, contamination, or undue use of water.
What size hole is needed for installation?
The Cookology Giglio tap typically requires a standard single tap hole, usually around 35mm in diameter.
Can I install this tap myself?
Basic DIY plumbing skills are usually sufficient for installation. However, if you are unsure or uncomfortable with plumbing, it is recommended to hire a qualified plumber.
How do I clean the brushed black finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to maintain the finish and prevent water spots.
What is the benefit of a single-lever mixer?
A single-lever mixer allows you to control both water flow and temperature with one hand, making it easier and quicker to find your desired setting. It's also generally more water-efficient than two-handle taps.
Does the pull-out spout have a swivel function?
The primary function of the pull-out spout is its extension and retraction, allowing precise aiming. While it pivots, its main advantage is the linear reach it provides.
What type of hose is used for the pull-out function?
It uses a flexible hose designed for easy extension and retraction, typically housed within the tap body for a clean aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Tap is not dispensing water.
Check that the main water supply valves are fully open. Ensure the flexible hoses are not kinked. Verify that the hot and cold water lines are correctly connected.
Low water flow from the spout.
Check if the aerator at the tip of the spout is clogged with sediment; unscrew and clean it. Ensure your household water pressure is adequate. Check for any kinks in the hoses.
The pull-out spout is stiff or does not retract smoothly.
Ensure the hose is not obstructed or kinked underneath the sink. Check the hose weight and ensure it is positioned correctly to allow free movement. Clean any visible debris from the spout mechanism.
Water leaks from the base of the tap.
Tighten the mounting bracket securing the tap to the sink or worktop. Check the seals and connections of the flexible hoses. If the leak persists, contact a professional plumber.
Temperature control is difficult.
Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected. Check if the internal valve mechanism is functioning correctly. Flush the system to remove any debris that might be affecting the valve.
