FAQs
What is the warranty period for the Evolve Solo Bath Filler Tap?
The tap is supported by a 3-year guarantee from the manufacturer.
Can this tap be installed on any type of bath?
This tap is designed for deck-mounted installation on baths with pre-drilled tap holes at the standard UK spacing for bridge taps.
How do I clean the waterfall spout?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the spout. For mineral deposits, a mild solution of water and white vinegar can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse and thorough drying.
Is the silver finish prone to tarnishing?
The tap features a corrosion-resistant polished chrome finish designed for longevity. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will maintain its appearance.
What does 'quarter-turn operation' mean?
It means that the tap levers only need to be turned approximately 90 degrees (a quarter of a full turn) from fully off to fully on, allowing for quick and easy water flow control.
Does this tap come with flexible hoses included?
The product description does not specify if flexible hoses are included. Typically, for deck-mounted taps, separate flexible hoses with appropriate G3/4” connections are required and may need to be purchased separately depending on the installation.
What plumbing system pressures is this tap suitable for?
The tap is engineered for consistent water flow performance and is suitable for a wide range of UK plumbing systems, including low and high pressure.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off.
This usually indicates an issue with the ceramic disc cartridge. Ensure levers are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Low water flow from the spout.
Check for blockages in the aerator or waterfall spout opening. Also, verify that the main water supply valves are fully open and check for any kinks in the supply hoses.
Difficulty controlling water temperature.
Ensure both hot and cold water supplies are connected correctly to the respective inlets. Check the thermostatic mixing valve (if installed separately) or the main hot water system for issues.
Tap is noisy during operation.
Check water pressure; very high pressure can sometimes cause noise. Ensure all connections are tight. A water hammer arrestor might be needed if the noise is a banging sound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This tap is designed for deck-mounted installation, meaning it is fitted directly onto the edge of the bath. Ensure your bath has the standard UK tap hole centres suitable for a bridge tap. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines using the G3/4” connections provided. Always follow the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions or consult a qualified plumber.
Compatibility:
- Plumbing Systems: Suitable for a wide range of UK domestic plumbing systems.
- Water Pressure: Engineered for reliable pressure handling. Performance may vary slightly with very low or very high water pressure.
- Installation Location: Requires a bath with pre-drilled tap holes on the deck or edge.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check connections for leaks. The ceramic cartridges are designed for long life but can be replaced if they show signs of wear.
- Finish Care: For the polished chrome finish, wiping dry after use will help prevent water spots and maintain its shine.
