Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
This usually indicates a worn ceramic cartridge. Contact customer support or a qualified plumber for replacement. Ensure the tap is fully closed.
Low water pressure
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the jet regulator for any blockages or limescale buildup and clean if necessary. Ensure the connection hoses are not kinked.
Tap lever is stiff
The ceramic cartridge might need lubrication or replacement. For immediate relief, try gently operating the lever back and forth. Persistent stiffness may require professional attention.
Tap wobbles or feels loose
Tighten the securing mechanism underneath the sink. Ensure the stabilizing disc is correctly positioned and fastened, especially if installed on a thin stainless steel sink.
