Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

This is often due to worn ceramic discs. Ensure the water supply is turned off, then remove the handle and check the ceramic disc cartridge for damage or debris. Replacement may be necessary if damaged.

Low water flow

Check that the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Inspect the aerator for limescale buildup and clean it. Also, check for any kinks in the flexible hoses or blockages in the internal pipework.

Leaking from the base

Ensure all connections, particularly where the tap meets the sink, are securely tightened. Check the seals and O-rings for damage or wear and replace if necessary.

Handles are stiff or difficult to move

The ceramic disc cartridges may require lubrication or replacement. Turn off the water supply, remove the handles, and inspect the cartridges. Clean and re-lubricate if possible, or replace the cartridges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This tap requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar. Ensure your plumbing system meets this requirement before installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fittings and to maintain the manufacturer's guarantee.

Compatibility:

Designed as a kitchen mixer tap with a 2-hole configuration, it is compatible with sinks drilled for this type of fitting. It can be integrated into various kitchen designs, particularly those with a traditional aesthetic.

Care:

To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
