Product Information

Full details

The Bristan Solo Non-Thermostatic Healthcare Mono Basin Mixer Tap is an essential hardware solution for clinical settings, nursing homes, and accessible bathrooms where infection control and ease of operation are paramount. Featuring a robust silver finish, the tap utilizes a short lever design that allows for simple, intuitive control, while its smooth-machined internal waterways and removable spout minimize areas where bacteria can accumulate. While highly effective for hygiene-critical environments, users should note that this is a non-thermostatic model, meaning it does not automatically compensate for pressure fluctuations to maintain a set temperature, requiring careful management of the primary water supply.

FAQs

Is this tap suitable for domestic bathrooms?

While designed for healthcare, it can be used in domestic settings, especially for accessible bathrooms, provided you understand it is non-thermostatic.

Does this tap prevent scalding automatically?

No, it is a non-thermostatic tap. It includes a manual temperature stop, but it does not automatically adjust to prevent scalding if the supply pressure changes.

How do I remove the spout for cleaning?

The spout is designed for removal as part of a routine maintenance schedule. Consult the specific installation manual for the exact mechanical release points.

Can I use harsh disinfectants on the finish?

It is recommended to use non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaners to preserve the silver finish and prevent damage to the hygiene-grade materials.

Does the tap come with a warranty?

Bristan products typically come with a comprehensive guarantee. Please check the documentation provided in your specific packaging for duration and coverage details.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow from the spout

Check the outlet for mineral buildup or debris and clean the removable spout thoroughly.

Water temperature fluctuates too significantly

Since this is non-thermostatic, ensure the facility's central water heating system is stable and properly adjusted.

The lever is stiff to operate

Verify that there is no obstruction at the base of the handle and check if the cartridge requires adjustment or cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Solo Mono Basin Mixer should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all local water bylaws are met, particularly concerning temperature regulation. The unit is compatible with all plumbing systems; however, ensure that the supply pipes are thoroughly flushed before mounting the tap to prevent debris from damaging the internal components. For daily care, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive sponges, acidic cleaners, or harsh chemicals that could damage the silver finish or the specialized internal surface coating. Regularly inspect the removable spout and clean it as dictated by your facility's specific infection control policy.
