Product Information
Full details
The Abode Tower Single Lever Kitchen Mixer Tap is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to modernize compact kitchens without sacrificing functionality. Its primary strength lies in its intuitive single-handed operation and high-clearance swan neck design, making it perfect for filling large pots or cleaning bulky dishes. While its striking matt black finish provides a sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic, users should note that this dark, matte surface requires regular cleaning to prevent the buildup of hard water spots or fingerprints.

FAQs
Is the Abode Tower tap compatible with all sink types?
It is designed for standard deck-mounting. Ensure your sink or worktop has a single standard-sized tap hole before purchase.
How do I maintain the matt black finish?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth daily. Avoid using bleach, acid-based cleaners, or abrasive sponges which will scratch the finish.
Can the aerator be replaced if it gets clogged?
Yes, the aerator is designed to be replaceable. It can be unscrewed from the spout tip for cleaning or full replacement.
Is this tap suitable for high-pressure systems?
Yes, it is designed for performance in standard and high-pressure domestic plumbing systems.
Does the single lever handle move smoothly?
Yes, it uses a high-quality 35mm ceramic cartridge specifically engineered for smooth, effortless movement.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow rate
Check the aerator for mineral buildup and soak it in a descaling solution, or ensure the supply valves under the sink are fully open.
Leaking from the base of the handle
The internal 35mm ceramic cartridge may need to be replaced. Turn off the water supply and consult the product manual for cartridge removal.
Water splashing excessively
Ensure the aerator is tightened correctly. If the issue persists, replace the aerator insert to restore proper air-to-water ratio.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tap is designed for deck-mounted installation, meaning it requires a single pre-drilled hole in your kitchen sink or countertop. Before installation, ensure your plumbing system supports the required pressure settings for single-lever mono mixers. For maintenance, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the delicate matt black finish. Instead, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to wipe down the surface. Periodically unscrew the aerator to soak it in a vinegar solution to clear any limescale deposits, ensuring the flow remains consistent over time.
