Product Information
Full details
The Bristan Iris Bath Filler Mixer Tap in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and stylish tap solution for their bathroom. Its key benefit lies in the long-life ceramic disc valves, ensuring smooth operation and longevity, coupled with a hard-wearing chrome finish. A potential caveat is its suitability for both high and low-pressure systems, which simplifies installation but may affect flow rate consistency across very different pressure setups.

FAQs
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The Bristan Iris Bath Filler Mixer Tap comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Can this tap be used with a combi boiler?
Yes, this tap is designed to work with both high and low water pressure systems, including those supplied by combi boilers.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to protect the finish.
What does '1/4 turn ceramic disc valves' mean?
It means that turning the handle a quarter turn (90 degrees) fully opens or closes the water flow. Ceramic discs are highly durable and provide smooth, drip-free operation compared to traditional washer valves.
Is installation simple for a DIYer?
While the tap is designed for standard installations, it is recommended to be fitted by a qualified plumber to ensure correct and compliant installation.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
The tap requires a minimum of 0.1 bar water pressure to function correctly.
Does this tap come with flexible hoses?
The product information specifies metal fixing nuts for securing the tap, but does not detail the type of connection hoses. It's advisable to check specific product packaging or consult with a retailer for hose compatibility and inclusion.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping from the spout
This typically indicates an issue with the ceramic disc valve. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the valve may need cleaning or replacement. Refer to the 5-year guarantee for support.
Low water flow from the spout
Check that the water supply to the tap is fully open. Inspect the aerator (if applicable) and the inlet pipes for any blockages. In low-pressure systems, a longer filling time is expected.
Handle is stiff or difficult to move
The ceramic disc valves may require lubrication or cleaning. If the issue persists, contact Bristan customer support under the terms of the 5-year guarantee.
Tap is noisy during operation
Noise can sometimes indicate water hammer or issues with water pressure. Ensure the tap is securely fitted and check your home's overall water pressure. If the noise is consistent and concerning, consult a plumber.
