Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off
Check the internal valve mechanism. If worn, it may need replacement. Ensure the lever is fully in the off position.
Low water flow
Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.3 bar. Check for any blockages in the aerator or within the flexible hoses. Ensure no other taps in the house are open simultaneously.
Water leaks from the base
Ensure the tap is securely fastened to the sink or worktop. Check the seals and washers for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Lever is stiff or difficult to move
Mineral deposits may be causing stiffness. Try gently cleaning the lever mechanism. If the issue persists, the internal cartridge may need servicing or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This tap is designed for a monobloc installation, meaning it fits into a single hole typically found in most sinks or countertops. Ensure the existing hole is compatible with the tap's base diameter. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual, which will include connecting the flexible hoses to your hot and cold water supply. Secure the tap firmly to prevent wobbling.
Compatibility:
The Arras tap is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.3 bar and a maximum of 5 bar. It is suitable for both high-pressure and most low-pressure systems that can achieve the minimum required pressure. Ensure your water heater and pipework can support these pressure levels.
Care:
To maintain the tap's finish, clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the surface or damage the protective coating. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth. Periodically check for any signs of wear or leaks, especially around the base and lever.
