Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off
Check if the internal valve or cartridge needs cleaning or replacing. Ensure the lever is fully in the 'off' position.
Low water flow
Clean the aerator at the tip of the spout. Check for any kinks or blockages in the supply hoses. Ensure your main water supply is adequate.
Inconsistent water temperature
Verify the connection of hot and cold water supply lines. Check the thermostatic mixer valve (if applicable) or the cartridge for proper function.
Tap is loose on the sink
Tighten the base fixings securely underneath the sink. Ensure the sealing washer is correctly positioned.
