FAQs
What is a 'cold start' tap?
A 'cold start' tap, like this one, is designed so that when the lever is in the central position, it only draws cold water. This prevents your boiler or water heater from unnecessarily activating, saving energy and water. To get hot water, you need to rotate the lever to the left.
What water pressure is needed for this tap?
This tap requires a minimum water pressure of 0.2 bar. This is generally considered low pressure and is compatible with most standard domestic plumbing systems.
Does the tap come with a waste fitting?
Yes, this mono basin mixer tap includes a chrome slotted clicker waste, ready for installation.
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The tap comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, covering you against manufacturing defects and faulty materials.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What material is the tap made from?
The tap body is manufactured from high-quality brass for strength and durability, and it is finished with a chrome plating.
Troubleshooting
Tap not dispensing water
Check that the water supply is turned on and that the isolation valves under the basin are open. Ensure the minimum water pressure of 0.2 bar is met.
Low water flow
Verify that the minimum water pressure requirement (0.2 bar) is being met. Check the aerator for any blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure no kinks are present in the supply hoses.
Water leaking from the base of the tap
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If the leak persists, the internal seals may need replacement. Professional installation is recommended.
Hot water not reaching the tap
Confirm that the hot water supply is functioning correctly and that the lever is rotated to the left to engage the hot water mix. Check your hot water system for any issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
