Troubleshooting
Tap not dispensing water or very low flow
Check that the water supply is turned on. Ensure the minimum operating pressure of 0.2 bar is met. Verify that the flexible tails are not kinked and that the inlet connection is clear of debris.
Leaking from the base of the spout or handles
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If leaking persists, the internal cartridge or seals may need inspection or replacement. Consult a qualified plumber if unsure.
Difficulty operating lever handles
The quarter-turn cartridge might be stiff due to sediment. Try gently working the levers back and forth. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need cleaning or replacement.
Inconsistent water temperature
