FAQs

Does this tap require a specific water pressure?

The Balterley Lacerta is designed to work with standard domestic kitchen water systems; however, for optimal performance, a balanced high-pressure system is recommended.

Can this tap be installed on a stainless steel sink?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard sink materials, including stainless steel, composite, and ceramic, provided there is a compatible single-hole drilling.

How do I keep the silver finish looking new?

Regularly wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spotting. Avoid abrasive agents that could damage the surface.

Is the spout height adjustable?

No, the height is fixed, but the spout features a swivel mechanism to allow for 360-degree rotation across the sink area.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will generally need an adjustable spanner, a basin wrench, and plumbing tape, though we recommend consulting the included manual for specific tools.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water flow

Check the aerator at the tip of the spout for mineral deposits or debris; unscrew the aerator and soak it in white vinegar to clear blockages.

Leaking around the base

Ensure the mounting nut underneath the sink is tightened securely; if the leak persists, check if the rubber O-ring seal is damaged or improperly seated.

Handle feeling stiff or loose

The handle may require adjustment; carefully remove the decorative cap to access the retaining screw and adjust the tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek and modern minimalist aesthetic
  • High-clearance spout for large kitchen tasks
  • Smooth operation via ceramic disc cartridge
  • Easy-to-use single lever handle
  • Drip-free reliability

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for optimal results
  • Single-hole mount may not fit all older sink setups
  • Polished finish may require frequent wiping to prevent water spots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure that your sink or countertop is configured with a standard single-hole mono block mounting point. The tap comes with all necessary hardware for a standard deck-mounted setup; however, it is recommended to use a professional plumber to ensure all seals are correctly seated to prevent leaks. To maintain the polished silver finish, wipe the tap down daily with a soft, microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the high-shine finish and lead to premature scratching.
