Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping or leaking
This is often caused by worn seals or debris in the Ceramic Disk Valve. Turn off the water supply, and inspect the valve for any obstructions. If the problem persists, the valve may need replacing. Contact Bristan customer service for replacement parts.
Low water flow from the tap
Check the aerator at the end of the spout for blockages from sediment or limescale. Unscrew the aerator and clean it thoroughly. Also, ensure the water supply valves under the tap are fully open and check for any kinks in the flexible hoses.
Difficulty turning the tap on or off
The handle mechanism or Ceramic Disk Valve may require lubrication or may be stiff due to mineral buildup. Turn off the water supply and attempt to clean and lubricate the valve stem according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement.
