Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

Ensure the single lever is fully closed. If dripping persists, the ceramic disk cartridge may need replacement. Consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional plumber.

Low water flow

Check that the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect the aerator (if applicable) for blockages and clean it. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses.

Lever is stiff

Hard water deposits may be affecting the cartridge. Try gently cleaning the cartridge area as per care instructions. If stiffness continues, the cartridge might need servicing or replacement.
