Product Information

Full details

The Blanco Lax Kitchen Mixer Tap is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a sophisticated yet functional centerpiece for their kitchen sink. Designed for those who appreciate both aesthetic appeal and ease of use, it features a high-arch swivel spout that simplifies tasks like filling large pasta pots or tall vases. While the polished silver finish offers a timeless, high-end look, users should be aware that, like all high-gloss finishes, it may require frequent wiping to maintain its streak-free appearance and prevent water spot accumulation.

FAQs

Can this tap be used with low-pressure plumbing?

The Blanco Lax is compatible with many systems, but it is best to verify your home's water pressure against the specific technical sheet provided by the installer.

Is the spout height sufficient for large pots?

Yes, the high-arch design provides significant clearance specifically to accommodate deep stockpots and tall vases.

How do I clean the polished finish without scratching it?

Use a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For stubborn water spots, a non-abrasive liquid soap is sufficient. Avoid scouring pads.

Are replacement parts available for the valves?

Yes, as the unit utilizes standard ceramic disk technology, replacement cartridges can generally be sourced through authorized Blanco dealers.

Does it require a special sink hole size?

The tap is designed for standard deck-mounted installation, which fits most modern kitchen sink pre-drilled holes.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow rate

Unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout and soak it in a vinegar solution to remove mineral deposits.

Dripping from the spout

Ensure both levers are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge may need to be inspected or replaced due to wear.

Loose lever handle

Check the set screw hidden under the decorative cap on the handle; use a small hex key to tighten it securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-arch spout accommodates tall vessels easily
  • Durable ceramic valves prevent leaks
  • Timeless design fits modern and classic kitchens
  • Sturdy deck-mounted construction

Cons

  • Polished surface requires regular cleaning to avoid spots
  • Twin-lever system requires two hands for temperature adjustment
  • May show fingerprints more than brushed finishes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Blanco Lax requires a standard sink deck cutout. It is designed to be compatible with most residential plumbing setups; however, it is recommended to ensure your water pressure falls within the manufacturer's suggested range before installation. For care, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals which can scratch the polished finish. Instead, use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild soap solution to keep the metal surface looking new. Regularly rinsing the aerator will ensure a consistent water flow and prevent mineral buildup from impacting performance.
