FAQs

What is the minimum water pressure required for this tap?

The tap requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar for optimal performance.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Does this tap come with matching waste fittings?

A matching brushed brass kitchen waste is available separately from Balterley to create a coordinated look.

What type of internal mechanism does this tap use?

This tap features ceramic disc technology for smooth operation and long-lasting durability.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

The tap comes with a 3-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind.

Can this tap be installed on a worktop as well as a sink?

Yes, provided the worktop has the appropriate two-hole drilling for installation.

What are the dimensions of the tap?

The dimensions of the tap are 190mm (width) x 230mm (height) x 240mm (depth).

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

This is often due to debris on the ceramic disc. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and clean the ceramic cartridge. Ensure it is reassembled correctly. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.

Low water flow

Check that the minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar is met. Ensure the aerator at the end of the spout is not clogged with limescale or debris. Unscrew the aerator and clean it. Also, check for any kinks or blockages in the water supply hoses.

Water temperature is not mixing correctly

Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are connected to the correct inlets on the tap. Ensure both the hot and cold water supplies are functioning correctly independently.

Tap makes noise during operation

Noises can sometimes indicate issues with water pressure or a loose component. Ensure the tap is securely mounted. Check for any internal restrictions or air in the system.

Cons

Requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar.
May not be suitable for very low-pressure water systems without a booster pump.
The brushed brass finish may require specific cleaning methods to maintain its appearance.
As a mono mixer, it combines hot and cold water through a single spout, which might not be preferred by all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This tap requires a two-hole installation. Ensure your sink or countertop has the appropriate pre-drilled holes. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the appropriate inlets, ensuring all connections are secure to prevent leaks. It is recommended that installation is performed by a qualified plumber.

Compatibility: This tap is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems and requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.5 bar. It is designed for use with hot and cold water supplies.

Care: To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild, non-abrasive soap can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Mineral deposits can be gently removed with a soft brush or a cloth dampened with diluted white vinegar, but ensure to rinse thoroughly afterward.
