Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
Ensure the quarter-turn ceramic disc valves are properly seated and tightened. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Low water flow
Check for blockages in the aerator or the flexible hoses. Ensure your water system pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.1 bar).
Noise from the tap
This can sometimes be due to water pressure fluctuations. Ensure all fittings are tight and check if the pressure is within the recommended range.
