Product Information

Full details

The Eridanus Basin Tap is a durable, chrome-plated zinc alloy faucet ideal for homeowners and DIY renovators looking for a reliable, single-hole deck-mounted fixture. Its primary strength lies in its high-quality ceramic valve core, which ensures smooth operation and drip-free performance, though users should note that the metallic finish requires consistent maintenance to prevent water spots and keep its polished appearance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this tap suitable for both hot and cold water?

Yes, the faucet includes dual-function inlet hoses designed for hot and cold water supply lines.

Does this tap require professional installation?

While installation is straightforward for those with basic plumbing knowledge, professional help is recommended if you are uncomfortable working with water supply lines.

What is the material of the tap?

The Eridanus basin tap is made from high-quality zinc alloy with a chrome-plated finish.

How do I maintain the chrome finish?

Wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads.

Can this be installed on a three-hole vanity?

This model is designed specifically for a single-hole mount. You would need a cover plate (not included) if your sink has three pre-drilled holes.

What are the exact dimensions?

The dimensions are 150 x 290 x 38mm.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is reduced or uneven

Unscrew the bubbler from the spout tip and clean out any mineral deposits or debris trapped in the mesh screen.

Leaking around the base of the handle

Ensure the internal cartridge is seated correctly; if the issue persists, the ceramic valve cartridge may need to be tightened or replaced.

Faucet wobbles on the sink deck

Check the underside of the sink and tighten the mounting nuts to secure the faucet base firmly against the basin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rust and corrosion due to chrome finish
  • Ceramic valve provides smooth, precise water control
  • Easy to install in standard single-hole sink configurations
  • Aerated flow prevents unnecessary water splashing
  • Includes all essential mounting hardware

Cons

  • Chrome finish is prone to showing water spots and fingerprints
  • Not suitable for sinks requiring three-hole mounting
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain its metallic luster

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard single-hole sink cutout. Ensure that your plumbing connections are compatible with the provided dual-function hoses before beginning. Use a plumber's wrench to tighten mounting hardware, being careful not to over-tighten the zinc alloy components to avoid stripping the threads. For long-term care, wipe the chrome surface daily with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to prevent mineral buildup. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh acidic cleaners, as these can dull or damage the protective chrome plating.
