Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The tap comes with a full installation kit. It is designed to be installed in a standard kitchen sink or countertop. It requires connections for hot water, cold water, and the filtered water line. Professional plumbing is recommended for a secure and correct installation. The filter unit itself typically installs beneath the sink, with the cartridge easily accessible via the auto shut-off head.
Compatibility: This tap is compatible with standard plumbing systems. The included filter is designed for common water impurities. Ensure you have adequate space under your sink for the filter housing and plumbing connections.
Care: Clean the tap exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the chrome finish. Regularly check the filter housing for any leaks. The filter cartridge should be replaced when exhausted or at least once every 12 months for optimal performance and water quality. To replace the cartridge, simply pull the old one out and push the new one in; the auto shut-off head prevents water spillage.
