FAQs
How often should the filter cartridge be replaced?
The filter cartridge should be replaced at least once every 12 months, or sooner if you notice a decrease in water quality or flow rate. Its capacity is 10,000 litres at 180ppm.
Do I need a separate hole in my sink for this tap?
No, this three-way tap is designed to replace your existing single-hole mixer tap and requires only one standard sink hole.
How do I change the filter cartridge?
The tap features an auto shut-off head. Simply twist the old cartridge to release it and insert the new one. The auto shut-off prevents water spillage during the change.
What does the limescale inhibiting media do?
This feature helps to reduce the build-up of limescale in your kettle and other hot water appliances, improving their efficiency and longevity.
Is installation difficult?
The tap comes with a full installation kit. While designed for straightforward installation, professional plumbing is recommended for the best and safest results.
What is the warranty period?
Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, as these can vary.
Can I use this tap for boiling water?
This tap dispenses hot, cold, and filtered water. It does not provide boiling water; for that, a separate boiling water system would be required.
Troubleshooting
No hot or cold water from the main levers
Check that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected and turned on. Ensure there are no kinks in the supply hoses.
Filtered water is not dispensing or tastes unusual
Verify that the filter cartridge is correctly installed and that the auto shut-off head is properly engaged. If the cartridge has been in place for over 12 months or has reached its capacity, it needs replacement. Flush the system after installing a new cartridge.
Tap is leaking
Inspect all connections, including supply lines and cartridge housing, for tightness. Ensure seals and O-rings are correctly seated. If the leak persists, contact customer support.
Low water flow from filtered water dispenser
Check the filter cartridge for blockages. Ensure the water supply pressure is adequate. A new filter cartridge may be required if the current one is nearing exhaustion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The tap comes with a full installation kit and instructions. It requires connection to both hot and cold water lines, as well as a dedicated line for the filtered water output from the cartridge. Ensure you have adequate space under your sink for the filter housing and connections. For optimal performance and to maintain warranty, it is recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified plumber.
Compatibility: This tap is compatible with standard kitchen sink plumbing. The included filter is designed to work with typical household water pressures. Check your water hardness level (ppm) to estimate the filter's effective lifespan.
Care: Clean the exterior of the tap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish. The internal filter cartridge should be replaced at least every 12 months or when exhausted (whichever comes first) to ensure continued water purity and filter effectiveness. The auto shut-off head makes cartridge replacement a simple, mess-free process.
