FAQs

Does this tap come with a water filter?

No, this tap is designed to connect to an under-sink water filter system, which is sold separately.

Can I use this tap if I don't have filtered water connected?

Yes, you can use the hot and cold tap water functions even if the filtered water line is not connected. The filtered water handle will simply not dispense water.

How do I clean the matte black finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What type of water filter system is compatible?

The tap is designed to connect to standard under-sink water filtration systems. Specific connection types may vary, so refer to your filter system's manual or consult a professional.

Do I need a special sink for this tap?

No, it is designed to fit in a standard single tap hole found on most sinks and countertops.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or the retailer's product page for specific warranty information, as warranty details can vary.

Is the filtered water kept separate from the tap water internally?

Yes, the design features a separate internal water supply and outlet for filtered water to ensure no mixing with regular tap water.

Troubleshooting

No hot or cold water from the main mixer.

Check that the hot and cold water supply lines are securely connected and that the main water supply is turned on.

Filtered water is not dispensing or has low flow.

Verify that the water filter system is properly connected and that the filter itself is not clogged or expired. Check for any kinks in the filtered water line.

Tap is leaking.

Ensure all connections are tightened correctly. If the leak persists, internal seals may need replacement; consult a qualified plumber.

Matte black finish appears dull.

Clean the tap with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
