Product Information
Full details
The Bristan Apelo Basin Mixer is an ideal choice for eco-conscious homeowners and modern bathroom renovators looking to balance sophisticated European aesthetics with sustainable utility. Its standout benefit is the integrated Eco Start technology and flow regulator, which actively reduce energy and water consumption; however, users should note that the unique grey finish requires careful cleaning to avoid abrasive damage.

FAQs
Does this tap come with a waste?
Yes, it includes a matching clicker waste as part of the installation kit.
How does the Eco Start feature save money?
It forces the tap to start in the cold position, meaning the boiler is not activated for short tasks where hot water is not actually needed.
Can I remove the flow regulator?
The regulator is designed to help with sustainability; removing it may void efficiency benefits and is generally not recommended.
What should I use to clean the grey finish?
Use only warm water with a mild liquid soap and a soft cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners or materials.
Is this tap suitable for high-pressure systems?
The Bristan Apelo is designed for versatile use, but you should verify your home's water pressure against the product technical data sheet.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is lower than expected
Check if the integrated 5L/min flow regulator is clogged with debris; remove and rinse if necessary.
Handle feels loose or wobbly
Tighten the grub screw located under the handle cap using an Allen key.
Clicker waste not sealing correctly
Check the seal for debris or adjust the height of the clicker mechanism to ensure a flush fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward as the unit includes flexible inlet tails for quick connection to existing plumbing. Ensure that your system pressure is compatible with the unit's specifications prior to installation. For care, avoid the use of harsh chemicals, abrasive scouring pads, or acidic cleaners. Use only mild soapy water and a soft microfiber cloth to wipe the tap down, then buff with a dry towel to maintain the integrity of the grey coating and prevent water spotting.
