The Bristan Spruce Sink Mixer in Chrome is designed for homeowners seeking energy efficiency and simplified installation. Its key benefit is the Eco Start technology, which reduces energy consumption by defaulting to cold water, saving on utility bills. A potential consideration is that the top-fix installation requires access from above the sink, which might be challenging in very tight spaces. This guide covers its features, setup, use, and troubleshooting.

Eco Start technology ensures that when the tap handle is in its central, upright position, only cold water flows. Hot water is only activated when the lever is deliberately moved to the left, preventing your boiler from unnecessarily firing up for tasks that don't require hot water.
The patented Top-Fix system allows the tap to be installed and secured from above the sink. This means you don't need to access the underside of the sink to tighten fixing nuts, making installation quicker and easier, especially in confined spaces.
No, the Bristan Spruce Sink Mixer comes with everything needed for installation, including two isolation valves, flexi tails, an Allen key, an Easyfit tool, and the Top Fix Easyfit base.
Bristan typically offers a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty on their taps, often including a 10-year guarantee on the body and finish and a 5-year guarantee on the valve and any moving parts. Please refer to the product's warranty documentation for specific details.
Yes, this mixer tap is generally compatible with combi boilers, provided your system meets the minimum water pressure requirements specified by Bristan.
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
Ensure the Top Fix Easyfit base is securely tightened and the seals are correctly seated. Check that the flexi tails are properly connected and tightened.
Check the isolation valves are fully open. Ensure the aerator on the spout is not clogged; unscrew and clean it. Verify there are no kinks in the flexi tails.
Confirm that the handle is moved to the left (hot side) for hot water. Ensure the hot water supply line is connected correctly and there is hot water available at the source.
The ceramic cartridge may require cleaning or replacement if it has become clogged with limescale. Consult the manufacturer's service guide.

Care:
To maintain the chrome finish, regularly wipe the tap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
