Troubleshooting
Basin is not draining efficiently.
Check if the black PVC plug is fully removed. Inspect the integrated centre pin and surrounding area for any obstructions like hair or soap buildup and clean as necessary.
Water is leaking from the connection points.
Ensure the retaining nut underneath the basin is tightened sufficiently. Check that the sealing washers are correctly positioned and not damaged. For very old or uneven basin surfaces, a small amount of plumber's putty might be needed around the flange.
The PVC plug does not create a watertight seal.
Clean the PVC plug and the inside of the waste outlet where the plug seats. If the plug appears worn or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
Flange appears discolored or tarnished.
The polished stainless steel is resistant to tarnishing. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners which could scratch the surface.
