Will this tap work with my low water pressure system?

What is the warranty period for this tap?

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine.
What are the dimensions of the tap?
Specific dimensions can be found in the product's technical datasheet. Generally, it is designed for standard bathtub taphole spacing.
Is this tap available in other finishes?

Troubleshooting
Low water flow even with the tap fully open.
Check if the issue is specific to this tap or affects all water outlets. If specific, ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are not kinked and that any inline filters are clean. If the problem persists, especially in a low-pressure system, confirm the system's overall pressure is adequate for desired flow.
Tap is dripping when turned off.
This usually indicates an issue with the ceramic valves. Try to tighten the handle slightly. If the dripping continues, the ceramic disc may be damaged or require cleaning/replacement. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for valve servicing or contact a professional plumber.
Water leakage around the base of the tap.
Ensure all fittings and connections are securely tightened during installation. Check that the seals and gaskets are correctly seated and not damaged. If leakage persists, the tap may need to be removed and re-sealed or inspected for cracks.
Handles are stiff or difficult to turn.
The ceramic valves may have mineral buildup. Attempt to clean them according to the manufacturer's guide, or if necessary, replace them. Ensure no debris is obstructing the handle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This tap requires a two-hole installation directly on the rim of the bathtub. Ensure your bathtub has the appropriate pre-drilled holes or that holes can be safely created. Standard plumbing connections will be needed for hot and cold water supply. Professional installation is recommended to ensure a watertight seal and correct connection.
Compatibility: This tap is compatible with standard UK and European plumbing systems. It is specifically designed to work effectively with low water pressure systems. It is a bath filler only and does not have an integrated shower function or diverter.
Care: To maintain the chrome finish, regularly clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
