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.
