Troubleshooting
Water splashes over the sides during use.
This can occur due to the lack of an overflow. Be mindful of the water level and consider using a faucet with controlled flow. Ensure the faucet height and angle direct water into the basin effectively.
Drain is slow or blocked.
Check the 45 mm drain hole for obstructions. Clean the drain pipe and waste trap as per plumbing guidelines. Ensure the waste trap is correctly installed.
Surface appears dull or stained.
Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for sanitary ceramics. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage the glaze. Use a baking soda paste for gentle stain removal.
Faucet leaks at the base.
Ensure the faucet is installed correctly with appropriate sealant and tightened securely to the countertop and basin. Check the mounting hardware and gaskets.
