FAQs
Is this tap suitable for all types of plumbing systems?
No, the Bristan Prism tap is specifically designed for high-pressure water systems. It will not perform optimally in low-pressure or gravity-fed systems.
What material is the tap made of?
The tap is constructed from chrome-plated brass, providing durability and a polished finish.
How do I clean the tap to maintain its shine?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the chrome finish. Always dry thoroughly.
What does 'monobloc' mean for this tap?
Monobloc means it is a single unit that fits into one hole, combining the hot and cold water controls and the spout in one fixture.
Can I install this tap myself?
While designed for straightforward installation, it is recommended to have basic plumbing knowledge or consult a professional plumber for best results, especially when connecting to water supply lines.
What is the benefit of a side lever?
A side lever offers convenient and precise control over water flow and temperature, often requiring less effort than a traditional handle.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off
Check if the internal valve or cartridge needs cleaning or replacing. Ensure the lever is fully in the off position.
Low water flow or pressure
Verify that the system is indeed a high-pressure system. Check the aerator for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure no kinks in the hoses.
Difficulty operating the lever
Ensure the lever is not obstructed. If stiff, the internal cartridge may require lubrication or replacement.
Leaks from the base of the tap
Check that the mounting screws are tightened appropriately and that the seals are correctly seated.
