Troubleshooting
Low water flow
Check that the water supply is fully on. Ensure the minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Clean any debris from the aerator on the spout.
Tap is dripping after shut-off
This usually indicates an issue with the internal ceramic disc cartridges. If under warranty, contact the manufacturer. Otherwise, the cartridges may need replacing.
Water not heating up correctly
Verify that the hot water supply is connected correctly to the designated inlet. Check your water heating system and ensure it is functioning properly and providing adequate hot water.
Difficulty turning handles
Check for any obstruction. If the handles are stiff, the internal cartridges might need lubrication or replacement. This is often a job for a qualified plumber.
