Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping
The ceramic disk cartridge may need to be cleaned or replaced. Refer to the manufacturer's service manual or contact a professional plumber.
Low water pressure
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Clean any aerators or filters that may be clogged. Ensure no kinks are present in the supply hoses.
Spray hose is leaking
Inspect the connections at both ends of the spray hose for tightness. Check the hose itself for any visible damage or wear. Replace the hose if damaged.
Swivel spout is stiff
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the swivel joint. Ensure no debris is obstructing the movement.
