FAQs

Are these taps suitable for low-pressure systems?

Yes, the Arko collection is designed to be compatible with both low and high-pressure water systems.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Standard plumbing tools such as an adjustable spanner and a basin wrench are typically sufficient for installation.

How do I clean the matte black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, acidic cleaners, or abrasive sponges.

Can these taps be used in a commercial environment?

These are primarily designed for residential use, though their high-grade brass construction offers excellent durability.

What is the benefit of ceramic disc technology?

Ceramic discs provide a smoother turn, more precise flow control, and are much less prone to leaks than traditional rubber washers.

Does the tap come with flexible tails?

Yes, the Arko collection includes standard fittings compatible with UK plumbing tail connections.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is slow or uneven

Unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout and clean out any trapped debris or mineral deposits.

Handle feels loose or stiff

Access the handle screw under the decorative cap and tighten it, or check for debris inside the ceramic cartridge.

Minor dripping from the spout

Ensure the tap is fully closed; if dripping persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may require cleaning or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable solid brass build quality
  • Drip-free ceramic disc operation
  • Splash-free water flow via integrated aerator
  • Compatible with both low and high-pressure systems
  • Standard UK fitting sizes for easy installation

Cons

  • Requires professional plumbing knowledge for secure installation
  • Matte finishes may show water spots if not wiped down regularly
  • Limited to standard UK plumbing specifications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Arko collection is straightforward for those familiar with standard plumbing practices, as the units utilize universal UK connections. Before beginning, ensure the main water supply is turned off to prevent leaks. Use a basin wrench for secure tightening of the tail pipes to the supply lines. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Instead, clean the taps regularly with a soft cloth and mild, soapy water. Periodically check the aerator for mineral buildup; if the water flow becomes restricted, unscrew the aerator nozzle and soak it in a white vinegar solution to dissolve limescale.
