BlueStart is a feature where the tap delivers cold water when the lever is in the central position. This saves energy by preventing the hot water system from unnecessarily activating for basic tasks like handwashing.
The Ideal Standard Alero tap is designed to limit water consumption to an efficient 3.8 litres per minute, thanks to its Flow cartridge technology.
Clean the matt black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Mild soap solution can be used for tougher marks, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
While the tap is designed for standard systems, optimal performance of features like the Flow cartridge is best achieved within the recommended water pressure range. Consult the product manual for specific pressure requirements.
The spout height of the Alero washbasin tap is 240 mm, providing comfortable clearance for most users and tasks.
The tap is equipped with a high-quality metal push-open valve, which controls the water flow, but the waste fitting itself is typically sold separately or integrated with the basin.
The tap is crafted from high-quality materials designed to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring durability and longevity.
Check that the water supply valves under the sink are fully open. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses connecting to the tap.
Verify water pressure from your mains supply. Check the aerator on the spout for any blockages or debris and clean if necessary. Ensure the Flow cartridge is functioning correctly.
Ensure the lever is precisely in the central position. If the issue persists, the Flow cartridge may require adjustment or replacement by a qualified professional.
The internal seals or the Flow cartridge may be worn. Contact Ideal Standard customer support for advice or replacement parts.
Ensure there is adequate clearance under the sink. Use the correct tools and follow the installation guide carefully. If access is very limited, professional installation is advised.
