Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping from the spout

This often indicates an issue with the ceramic cartridge. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and check if the cartridge needs cleaning or replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guide for detailed instructions.

Low water flow

Check the aerator for blockages. Unscrew the aerator at the end of the spout and clean any sediment. Also, ensure the isolation valves under the sink are fully open.

Tap feels loose or rotates

Tighten the metal fixing nuts securely from underneath the basin. Ensure all washers are correctly seated before tightening.

Difficulty controlling temperature

Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected. The ceramic cartridge may need adjustment or replacement if control remains imprecise.
