Troubleshooting

Basin has a slow drain rate.

Check the waste trap and pipework for any blockages. Ensure the overflow channel is clear of debris.

Water is not draining and basin is overflowing.

Verify that the overflow system is correctly installed and not obstructed. Ensure the tap is fully turned off.

Surface scratches or marks appear.

Gently clean the area with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner recommended for ceramic. For deeper scratches, consult a professional. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools.

Tap holes seem incompatible with chosen taps.

Confirm that the chosen taps are designed for two-hole basin installation. Ensure correct spacing if applicable.

  • Suitable for various bathroom sizes due to its compact dimensions.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This basin is designed for semi-recessed installation into a countertop or vanity unit. Ensure the unit can support the basin's weight and provides adequate space for plumbing connections. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions carefully.

Compatibility: The basin features two centrally located tap holes, compatible with standard basin pillar taps. A suitable waste fitting (e.g., slotted or unslotted depending on the tap holes used and trap configuration) and a flexible or rigid trap are required. Check local plumbing codes for specific requirements.

Care: Clean the basin regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the glossy finish. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
