FAQs

What is the warranty period for this tap?

This Iflo Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap comes with a 5-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.

What type of finish does this tap have?

The tap features a polished chrome finish, providing a bright and reflective surface.

Does this tap come with flexible hoses included?

Typically, mixer taps like this are supplied with flexible hoses for connection. Please refer to the product packaging or specific retailer details for exact inclusions.

How do I clean the chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this tap suitable for a low-pressure system?

While designed for standard systems, performance on very low pressure may be reduced. Ensure your system meets minimum pressure requirements for optimal function.

What does 'monobloc' mean?

A monobloc tap is a single unit that combines both hot and cold water controls in one fixture, mounted through a single hole in the sink or worktop.

Can I replace the ceramic disc cartridges myself?

Yes, if you are comfortable with basic plumbing tasks. Ensure you turn off the water supply first and follow the manufacturer's guide for cartridge replacement.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

The ceramic disc cartridges may be worn or have debris. Turn off the water supply, carefully dismantle the lever mechanism, and clean or replace the cartridge as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Low water pressure

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Ensure the aerator at the spout is not clogged; unscrew and clean it. Verify that there are no kinks in the flexible hoses and that the home's main water pressure is adequate.

Noise when operating

Ensure the tap is securely fixed to the sink/worktop. Check for any vibrations or loose connections in the plumbing. Sometimes, water hammer can cause noise; investigate pipe securing.

Difficulty turning levers

The ceramic discs may be stiff due to mineral build-up. Turn off the water, remove the levers, and clean the ceramic cartridges. If still stiff, the cartridges may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning installation.
  2. Follow the manufacturer's provided installation manual for specific instructions regarding connections and mounting.
  3. Connect the flexible hoses to the appropriate hot and cold water supply lines.
  4. Secure the tap to the sink or countertop using the provided fixing kit.

Compatibility:

This mixer tap is designed to connect to standard UK plumbing systems. It requires separate hot and cold water inlets with adequate water pressure. Ensure sufficient space is available behind the sink for installation and operation.

Care:

  • Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the polished chrome finish.
