Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping or leaking
Ensure the tap is correctly installed and all connections are secure. The ceramic disc cartridge may need inspection or replacement if the issue persists after installation checks.
Low water flow from the spout
Check the aerator at the end of the spout for any debris or limescale build-up. Unscrew it carefully and clean it, then reattach. Also, ensure the flexible hoses are not kinked.
Hot and cold water are mixed up
Verify the connections to the hot and cold water supply lines. The hot tap should turn clockwise to open, and the cold tap anti-clockwise.
Tap feels loose on the basin
Tighten the fixing nuts and brackets underneath the basin that secure the tap to the deck. Ensure they are firmly in place without overtightening.
