FAQs
What is the benefit of the Eco Start feature?
It defaults to cold water when the handle is centered, preventing the boiler from firing up for quick tasks that don't require hot water.
Does this tap come with a waste?
Yes, it includes a clicker waste as part of the installation package.
How do I maintain the finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical or abrasive cleaners.
Can I remove the flow regulator?
While it is designed to save water, if you experience extremely low pressure, ensure it is not blocked before considering alternatives.
What warranty does the product have?
The Bristan Apelo Basin Mixer is covered by a lifetime parts guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is lower than expected
Check the integrated 5L flow regulator for sediment buildup and rinse if necessary.
Handle feels stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the ceramic cartridge is properly seated and free of internal mineral deposits.
Leaking at the base of the tap
Check that the metal fixing nut is tightened securely and the seal is properly seated.

Cons
- Lower flow rate may not suit those preferring high-pressure output

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility
- Suitable for standard bathroom basins with a single hole mounting.
- Compatible with most UK plumbing systems.
Care Instructions
