FAQs
What material is the tap made from?
The tap is constructed from high-grade solid brass with corrosion-resistant finishes.
How do I clean the waterfall spout?
Clean the waterfall spout with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For mineral deposits, a mild vinegar solution can be gently applied and then rinsed thoroughly.
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The Evolve Solo Bath Filler Mixer Tap is supported by a 3-year guarantee.
Is this tap suitable for low water pressure systems?
While engineered for a wide range of UK systems, the waterfall effect is best experienced with adequate water pressure. Performance may vary in very low-pressure scenarios.
Can I use this tap with a combination boiler?
Yes, the tap is designed to be compatible with various UK plumbing systems, including those using combination boilers, provided sufficient pressure is available.
What does 'ceramic disc technology' mean for me?
Ceramic disc technology ensures smooth, easy operation of the tap handles and provides a durable, drip-free seal for the life of the tap, preventing leaks.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
The ceramic disc cartridge may have debris. Turn off the water supply, disassemble the handle, and clean the cartridge. If the problem persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Low water flow or weak waterfall effect
Check for blockages in the aerator or the waterfall spout. Ensure your water pressure meets the minimum recommended levels for the tap. Check if any isolation valves are partially closed.
Difficulty controlling temperature
Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected. The thermostatic mixing valve (if fitted externally) may need adjustment, or the tap's internal ceramic discs might be worn.
Tap makes noise during operation
Noises can sometimes indicate water hammer or issues with the cartridge. Ensure water pressure is within the recommended range and check that the cartridge is properly seated.
