FAQs
Is this basin waste suitable for basins without an overflow?
No, this waste is specifically designed for basins that have an overflow hole. Using it on a basin without an overflow may lead to drainage issues.

How do I operate the 'Click-Clack' mechanism?
You simply push down on the top of the stopper to close the waste and stop water from draining. Push it again to open the waste and allow water to flow through.

The Balterley basin waste comes with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee against defects.
What are the overall dimensions of the waste unit?
The main body dimensions are H: 103 x W: 60 x D: 104mm. The waste pipe extension has a length of 43mm.
Can I use this with a plastic basin?
Yes, provided the plastic basin has an overflow and a standard-sized waste hole, this waste unit should be compatible.
Troubleshooting
Waste does not seal properly
Check that the click-clack mechanism is fully closed and that there is no debris lodged in the seal. Ensure the seal is correctly seated within the waste body.
Water leaks from around the waste body
Tighten the retaining nut from underneath the basin. If the leak persists, inspect the rubber seal for damage and ensure it is properly positioned.
Click-clack mechanism is stiff or stuck
Remove the stopper part of the mechanism and clean any debris or soap scum. Lubricate lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Basin does not drain quickly
Ensure the waste is fully open and check the connected trap and pipework for blockages. Verify that the basin's overflow is not obstructed.
