Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
Ensure the twin levers are fully closed. If dripping persists, the ceramic disc valves may require servicing or replacement. Consult a professional plumber if unsure.
Low water flow
Check that your water system is operating at high pressure (1-3 bar). Clean any aerator at the spout tip for obstructions. Ensure no kinks in the flexible hoses.
Water leaks from base
Verify that the tap is securely mounted to the sink or deck. Check the seals and connections of the flexible tap tails to the water supply.
Hot/cold water mixing issue
Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the respective inlets on the tap. Verify that both hot and cold water are running from your main supply.
