FAQs

Does this tap come with a waste fitting?

No, the Ideal Standard Alero Washbasin Mixer Tap (BE184AA) is supplied without a waste fitting. You will need to purchase a compatible basin waste separately.

How does the BlueStart function save energy?

The BlueStart function means that when the tap lever is in the central position, only cold water is dispensed. This prevents your boiler or water heater from unnecessarily switching on to heat water when only cold is needed, thus saving energy.

What is the water flow rate of this tap?

The tap is designed to be water-efficient, with a flow rate of 3.8 litres per minute, achieved through its specialized Flow cartridge.

What is the spout height?

The spout height is 100 mm, providing comfortable clearance for washing hands and performing basin tasks.

Is this tap suitable for a standard UK bathroom sink?

Yes, this tap is designed for standard washbasins with a single tap hole and connects to typical hot and cold water supply systems.

How easy is it to install?

It features the Easy-Fix quick installation system, designed for straightforward and quick setup by the user or a plumber.

What material is the tap made of?

The tap is crafted from high-quality materials designed to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring durability.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the base

Ensure the mounting screws are tightened securely. Check that the seals and O-rings are correctly seated and undamaged.

Low water flow from the spout

Check the basin waste for blockages. Unscrew and clean the aerator at the tip of the spout to remove any debris or limescale.

Water temperature is not as expected

Verify the hot and cold water supply connections are correct. Ensure the internal cartridge is functioning properly; if issues persist, the cartridge may need replacement.

Tap lever is stiff or loose

Check for any obstructions around the lever mechanism. If loose, the fixing screw for the lever may need tightening. If stiff, the internal cartridge might require lubrication or replacement.

BlueStart function not working (hot water flows in central position)

Ensure the lever is positioned centrally. If hot water still flows, the internal mechanism of the cartridge might be misaligned or faulty and may need servicing or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Alero tap features the Easy-Fix quick installation system. This typically involves securing the tap from underneath the basin using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the water supply lines are turned off before beginning.

Care: To maintain the tap's finish and functionality:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
  • For limescale buildup, use a mild descaling solution, following the product's instructions, and rinse thoroughly.
  • Periodically check the aerator for debris and clean if necessary to maintain optimal flow.
