FAQs
How often should I replace the filter?
Filter replacement frequency typically depends on water usage and local water hardness. Generally, it is recommended to replace the filter every 6 months. Please refer to the specific filter's manual for precise guidelines.
What is the warranty period for this tap?
Warranty information can vary. It is best to check the product packaging or the manufacturer's official documentation for the exact warranty duration and terms.
Can I install this tap myself?
While basic plumbing knowledge might suffice for some parts, the integrated boiler and electrical connections often require specialized knowledge. Professional installation by a qualified plumber is highly recommended for safety and optimal performance.
What is the capacity of the boiler?
The boiler capacity varies. You should consult the product's technical specifications or user manual for the exact capacity, which dictates how much boiling water can be dispensed before the boiler needs to reheat.
Does the tap come with a filter?
Yes, the WHGURVH Flode Tre tap kit typically includes a filter and the necessary boiler unit to operate the instant boiling water function.
How do I clean the brushed nickel finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the brushed nickel finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a clean cloth.
Can I use standard hot and cold water while the boiler is heating?
Yes, the tap features separate controls for standard hot and cold water mixing, which can be used independently of the boiling water function. The boiler heats water separately.
Troubleshooting
No boiling water is dispensed.
Check if the boiler is powered on. Ensure the water supply to the boiler is open. Verify the filter is correctly installed and not blocked. Check for any error codes on the boiler unit.
Water flow is slow or sputtering.
The filter may be clogged and needs replacement. Check for kinks in the water supply hoses. Ensure the tap's aerator (if applicable) is clean.
Tap is leaking.
Turn off the water supply immediately. Check all plumbing connections, especially around the boiler and tap base. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.
Boiling water is not hot enough.
Verify the temperature setting on the boiler. The boiler may need descaling if you are in a hard water area. Ensure the boiler is functioning correctly and not overheating.
Child-safe lock is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure you are using the correct technique as per the user manual. Sometimes a small amount of residue can cause stiffness; clean gently around the mechanism.
