FAQs

Are these taps suitable for high-pressure systems?

Yes, the Heritage Salcombe taps are designed to work with standard high-pressure plumbing systems. Ensure your system meets the minimum pressure requirements if specified by the manufacturer.

Can I use these taps with a low-pressure system?

While designed for standard systems, performance on very low-pressure systems may vary. It's advisable to consult a plumber to ensure compatibility and optimal performance with your specific low-pressure setup.

What is the warranty period for the Heritage Salcombe taps?

The product comes with a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the warranty documentation included with your purchase for specific terms and duration.

How do I clean the matt black finish without damaging it?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly with another soft cloth. Avoid all abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

Does the Salcombe range include bath taps as well?

Yes, the Heritage Salcombe range is comprehensive and includes various items such as complete shower kits, basin and bath pillar taps, basin mixers, and bath shower mixers, available in multiple finishes.

What type of valve mechanism do these taps use?

These taps typically utilize ceramic disc cartridges, known for their durability and smooth operation, offering precise control over water flow and temperature.

Troubleshooting

Low water flow from one or both taps

Check for blockages in the aerator at the tip of the spout. Unscrew the aerator and clean it. Also, ensure the hot and cold water supply valves under the basin are fully open.

Taps are dripping when turned off

This usually indicates a worn or damaged internal cartridge or washer. The internal components may need to be replaced. Consult a plumber or refer to the manufacturer's service guide for cartridge replacement.

Water leaks from the base of the tap

Check that the mounting nuts underneath the basin are tightened securely. If the leak persists, the seals or hoses might be faulty and require replacement.

Matt black finish appears dull or has marks

Ensure you are using a soft cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Persistent marks might require a specific cleaner designed for matt black finishes, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation of the Heritage Salcombe Basin Pillar Taps typically involves connecting them to standard hot and cold water supply lines under the basin. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. It is recommended that installation is performed by a qualified plumber to ensure correct fitting and optimal performance.

Compatibility:

These pillar taps are designed to fit standard basin drillings. Ensure your basin has two tap holes spaced appropriately for pillar taps. They are compatible with standard UK plumbing systems.

Care:

To maintain the striking matt black finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth. Regular gentle cleaning will prevent the build-up of limescale and maintain the tap's appearance.
