Troubleshooting

Low water flow
Check if the aerator is clogged with sediment. Unscrew the aerator and clean it under running water. Also, ensure shut-off valves are fully open and there are no kinks in the water supply lines.
Difficulty controlling temperature
Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected. The ceramic cartridge might require adjustment or cleaning if the problem persists.
