FAQs
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The Bristan Cascade Sphere Kitchen Tap comes with a 5-year guarantee from Bristan, covering manufacturing defects.
Does this tap come with the flexible hoses included?
Yes, the tap includes flexible tails and a fixing nut as part of the package to aid installation.
Can this tap be used with a combi boiler system?
Yes, this tap is compatible with all plumbing systems, including those using combination boilers.
How do I clean the chrome finish without damaging it?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, diluted detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
What does '1/4 turn ceramic cartridge' mean?
It means the tap only requires a quarter turn of the handle from off to fully on, and uses durable ceramic discs inside the cartridge for sealing, offering smooth operation and longevity.
Is this tap suitable for a low-pressure water system?
While compatible with all systems, performance on very low-pressure systems may vary. Ensure your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements for optimal function.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the 1/4 turn ceramic cartridge may need tightening or replacing. Turn off the water supply before attempting any maintenance.
Low water pressure
Check that the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect the aerator (if applicable) for blockages and clean it. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses.
No hot or cold water
Verify that the main water supply is on and that the isolation valves for the hot and cold lines are open. Check for any blockages in the corresponding supply pipes.
Tap is loose on the sink
Check and tighten the fixing nut located underneath the sink. Ensure the tap is correctly seated before tightening.
