Can this tap be used with low-pressure water systems?

How should I clean the matte black finish?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow
Check that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.5 bar. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses and that the hot and cold water valves are fully open. Clean any debris from the aerator at the spout.
Tap is leaking
If the leak is from the spout when the tap is off, the ceramic cartridge may need replacing. If leaks are from the connections, ensure they are securely tightened. Turn off water supply before attempting repairs.
Difficulty controlling temperature/flow
Ensure the single lever handle is operating smoothly. If resistance is felt, the ceramic cartridge might be obstructed or nearing the end of its lifespan. Check for any blockages within the water lines.
Matte finish is discolored or damaged
Stop using any abrasive or chemical cleaners immediately. Try cleaning gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the finish is permanently damaged, contact the manufacturer regarding warranty or repair options.
