FAQs
Is this waste suitable for basins without an overflow?
No, this is a slotted waste, meaning it is designed specifically for basins that have an overflow hole. For basins without an overflow, you would need an unslotted waste.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish using a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution. Always rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What does 'slotted' mean in relation to a basin waste?
'Slotted' refers to the presence of an additional hole or slot in the waste body. This slot connects to the overflow hole in the basin, allowing excess water to drain away safely and preventing the basin from flooding.
Can I use this waste with any basin?
This waste is compatible with most standard bathroom basins, provided the basin has an overflow hole. Check the dimensions and connection type to ensure compatibility with your specific basin.
How do I operate the push-button mechanism?
Press the button once to close the waste and stop water from draining. Press it again to open the waste and allow water to drain.
Does this come with matching brassware?
This product is part of the Balterley range, and matching brassware (taps, etc.) is available separately to create a cohesive bathroom design.
What materials is this waste made from?
It is manufactured from high-quality materials, designed for durability and longevity in a bathroom environment.
Troubleshooting
Waste is not holding water.
Check if the rubber seal is correctly seated and free from debris. Ensure the push-button mechanism is fully engaged.
Water draining too slowly.
Inspect the waste pipe for blockages. Clean any debris from the waste plug and housing.
Chrome finish appears dull or discolored.
Clean the surface with a soft cloth and mild soap, then rinse and dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents.
Push-button is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no buildup of soap scum or limescale around the mechanism. Clean with a mild solution and retest. Lubrication may be necessary if the issue persists, following manufacturer guidelines.
