FAQs

What makes the installation 'EasyFit'?

The EasyFit system features a patented top-fix design that allows you to install the tap from above the sink, and a simple push-fit mechanism to secure the tap to its base, all using the tools provided.

How does the Eco Start technology save energy?

The tap defaults to cold water when the lever is in the central, upright position. Hot water is only activated when you intentionally move the lever to the left, preventing the boiler from running unnecessarily for tasks like rinsing.

Do I need to buy any extra parts for installation?

No, the Bristan Pine EasyFit Sink Mixer Tap comes with everything you need, including flexi tails, isolation valves, an Allen key, and the Easyfit tool.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Bristan typically offers a long warranty on their taps, often 10 years for the body and 5 years for serviceable parts like cartridges. Please refer to the product's warranty documentation for exact details.

Can I replace the cartridge if it fails?

Yes, the tap is designed with a long-life ceramic cartridge that can be replaced if needed. Instructions for cartridge replacement are usually available in the product manual or from Bristan customer support.

Is this tap suitable for a combi boiler system?

Yes, this tap is generally compatible with combi boiler systems, as it works with standard water pressures. The Eco Start feature helps manage hot water usage effectively.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water

Check that the water supply is turned on and that the isolation valves are fully open. Ensure no kinks are present in the flexi tails.

Tap drips from the spout

The ceramic cartridge may require tightening or replacement. If the issue persists after tightening, contact customer support for a replacement cartridge.

Low water pressure

Check the aerator for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the isolation valves are fully open and that there are no blockages within the flexi tails.

Hot water not activating (Eco Start)

Ensure the lever is moved to the left to activate hot water. If hot water is not delivered at all, check your hot water supply and boiler.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the water supply is turned off.
  2. Drop the patented Top Fix Easyfit base into the tap hole on the sink.
  3. Secure the base from above using the provided Allen key.
  4. Connect the supplied flexi tails to the isolation valves.
  5. Attach the tap to the base.
  6. Use the included Easyfit tool to fasten the tap to the base.
  7. Connect the flexi tails to your water supply.

Compatibility: This sink mixer tap is designed for standard kitchen sink tap holes. It is compatible with most domestic water pressure systems. The included isolation valves and flexi tails ensure straightforward connection to standard plumbing.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish, wipe the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For internal components, the long-life ceramic cartridge is designed for durability and requires no regular maintenance, though it can be replaced if issues arise.
