FAQs

What type of finish does this tap have?

The tap features a luxury brushed brass finish, providing a sophisticated look.

What is the minimum water pressure required for this tap?

A minimum water pressure of 0.5 Bar (Medium Pressure) is required for optimal performance.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish.

Is this tap suitable for all sink types?

Yes, its swivel spout makes it ideal for both single and multiple bowl sinks.

What does the 3-year guarantee cover?

The guarantee covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage caused during fitting, improper use, or general wear and tear.

Does the tap come with a waste or overflow?

This product is a tap mixer only and does not include a waste or overflow fitting.

How do I know if my water pressure is sufficient?

You can check your home's water pressure with a pressure gauge or consult a plumber. Most modern homes with a standard mains water supply will meet the 0.5 Bar requirement.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow

Check that the minimum 0.5 Bar pressure is met. Ensure the aerator is clean and free from debris. Verify that the isolation valves under the sink are fully open.

Tap is dripping when turned off

The quarter-turn valve may need adjustment or replacement. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified plumber if the issue persists after checking.

Splashing from the spout

Ensure the aerator is correctly installed and not clogged. Check that the water pressure is not excessively high for the aerator's design.

Difficulty turning the levers

Check for any obstructions. If the levers are stiff, a small amount of plumber's grease may be required on the valve stems, or the valve may need servicing.
