Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off.
This may indicate an issue with the ceramic disc cartridge. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the cartridge may need to be replaced. Consult the manufacturer's warranty or a professional plumber.
Low water flow or pressure.
Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.2 Bar. Check for any blockages in the aerator or within the pipes. Ensure the bath waste (sold separately) is not restricting flow. If the issue persists, consult a plumber.
Inconsistent water temperature.
Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and functioning properly. Check for any partial blockages in the respective supply lines.
Matt black finish appears dull or discolored.
Avoid using abrasive cleaning products. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then dry thoroughly. If discoloration is persistent, it may be due to water quality or chemical exposure.
