Product Information

Full details

The Bristan Pine Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking water and energy efficiency with a straightforward installation process. Its key benefit is the 'Eco Start' technology, which defaults to cold water to save energy. A potential consideration is that users accustomed to a different handle mechanism might need a brief adjustment period. This tap features a swivel spout, a durable ceramic cartridge, and high-quality metal fixings, all presented in a sleek silver finish.

FAQs

What does 'Eco Start' technology mean?

'Eco Start' technology means the tap defaults to cold water when the handle is in the central, upright position. Hot water is only activated when you move the lever to the left, preventing your boiler from heating water unnecessarily.

How is the Top Fix installation different?

The Top Fix system allows you to install the tap from above the sink, making the process simpler and quicker, especially in tight spaces where access from below is difficult.

What is included in the box?

The box typically includes the tap, Top Fix Easyfit base, flexi tails, two isolation valves, an Allen key, and the Easyfit tool required for installation.

Is this tap suitable for low water pressure systems?

While designed for standard systems, performance can vary with very low pressure. It's recommended to check your home's water pressure specifications.

How do I clean the silver finish?

Clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period?

Bristan typically offers a long warranty on their taps, often covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product's warranty documentation for specific details.

Can the spout swivel 360 degrees?

The swivel spout provides significant flexibility for kitchen tasks, allowing for easy movement across the sink area.

Troubleshooting

Tap won't turn on

Check that the isolation valves are fully open and that the flexi tails are securely connected. Ensure water supply is active.

Leaking from the spout

The ceramic disc cartridge may need servicing or replacement. Contact customer support if the issue persists after checking connections.

Low water flow

Check the aerator for blockages (if applicable) and clean it. Ensure isolation valves are fully open and there are no kinks in the flexi tails.

Handle is stiff or loose

Check the handle fixing screws. If stiff, the internal cartridge mechanism might require attention or lubrication as per manufacturer guidelines.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco Start technology actively saves energy and water.
  • Top Fix system simplifies installation significantly.
  • Durable ceramic cartridge ensures longevity.
  • Swivel spout adds practical convenience.
  • All necessary installation parts are included.

Cons

  • Eco Start requires a slight adjustment for users accustomed to immediate hot water.
  • Specific plumbing knowledge may still be beneficial for optimal installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation is designed to be straightforward using the patented Top Fix system.

  1. Drop the Top Fix base into the tap hole from above.
  2. Secure the base using the provided Allen key.
  3. Connect the supplied isolation valves and flexi tails to the water supply.
  4. Push the tap onto the base and secure it with the Easyfit tool and screws.

Compatibility: This tap is designed for standard kitchen sink configurations. Ensure your water pressure is within the recommended range for optimal performance.

Care: To maintain the silver finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal maintenance, the ceramic disc cartridge is designed for long life; however, if issues arise, it can typically be serviced or replaced.
