FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this tap?

The Astini Provencale tap requires a minimum of 0.5 Bar (medium pressure) to operate effectively.

Is the swivel spout fixed or can it be removed?

The spout is designed to swivel, offering a range of motion, but it is a fixed part of the tap assembly and cannot be removed.

How do I clean and maintain the polished chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching.

What does the 3-year guarantee cover?

The 3-year guarantee covers manufacturing defects. It excludes damage from improper installation, misuse, accidental damage, wear and tear on working parts, and discoloration from UV exposure.

Are the ceramic valves easy to replace?

Yes, the tap features an interchangeable ceramic cartridge designed for easy replacement, particularly useful in hard water areas to combat limescale.

What is included in the box?

The box contains the Kitchen Tap. Please note that the waste fitting is not included and must be purchased separately.

Can this tap be used with a low-pressure water system?

This tap is designed for medium pressure systems (minimum 0.5 Bar). It may not perform optimally or function correctly with very low-pressure systems.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water or has very low flow.

Check if the water supply is turned on. Ensure your water pressure meets the minimum 0.5 Bar requirement. Inspect the aerator for blockages and clean if necessary. Verify that the hot and cold supply lines are correctly connected.

Leaking from the base of the spout.

This may indicate a problem with the O-ring seals. Contact customer support for potential replacement parts or professional assistance.

Dripping from the spout when turned off.

The quarter-turn ceramic valve may require replacement. These are designed to be interchangeable. Refer to manufacturer instructions or a qualified plumber for replacement.

Chrome finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the tap has not been exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or UV light, which can cause discoloration. Refer to the guarantee exclusions regarding discoloration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tap is designed for deck-mounted installation, fitting onto the surface of your sink or countertop. Ensure you have a suitable hole for the tap. It requires a connection to both hot and cold water supplies. For optimal performance, a minimum water pressure of 0.5 Bar is recommended.

Compatibility: Suitable for use with single and multiple bowl sinks. Ensure your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirement.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used. The ceramic cartridge is designed to resist limescale, but if performance degrades in hard water areas, the cartridge can be easily replaced. The tap is constructed with quality brass internals for durability.
