FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Heritage Dartmouth Basin Mixer Tap?

Heritage typically offers a comprehensive warranty on their brassware. Please refer to the product documentation or the Heritage website for the exact warranty terms and duration for this specific model.

Can this tap be used with a 3-hole basin?

No, this is a single tap hole basin mixer. It is specifically designed to fit into a basin with only one pre-drilled hole for the tap.

What type of internal mechanism does this tap use?

This tap uses a ceramic disc cartridge, which is known for its durability and smooth operation, providing precise control over water flow and temperature.

How do I clean the chrome finish without damaging it?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse well and dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, polish, or cleaning products containing chlorine.

Does this tap come with flexible hoses?

Yes, this tap typically includes flexible connection hoses for straightforward installation, though it's always best to confirm with the specific product packaging.

What is the minimum water pressure required for this tap?

While specific requirements can vary, most modern mixer taps like this perform best with a minimum pressure of 0.5 bar. Please check the technical specifications provided by Heritage for precise details.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water

Ensure the main water supply is turned on. Check that the isolation valves under the tap are open. Verify that the hot and cold water supply hoses are correctly connected.

Low water flow

Check and clean the aerator at the end of the spout, as it may be blocked with limescale or debris. Ensure there are no kinks in the supply hoses. Verify that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements.

Leaking from the base of the tap

Tighten the fixing kit underneath the basin. Ensure the rubber seals are correctly positioned and not damaged. If the leak persists, the internal cartridge may need replacing.

Difficulty operating the lever

Check for any obstructions around the handle. The internal cartridge might be stiff; consider professional servicing if it does not loosen with use.
