Troubleshooting
Low water flow or pressure
Check that the flexible tail pipes are not kinked. Ensure the ceramic cartridge is clean and free from debris. Verify that your home's water pressure meets the system's requirements.
Tap leaks from the base
Ensure all connections and fittings are securely tightened. Check the integrity of the seals and gaskets around the base of the tap.
Pull-out spout is stiff or not retracting smoothly
Inspect the hose for any obstructions or kinks. Ensure the hose weight (if applicable) is correctly positioned. Clean any visible debris from the spout mechanism.
Water temperature is difficult to control
Check that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected. The single lever should allow for smooth mixing; if not, the internal cartridge may require attention.
