FAQs

Are these taps suitable for a combination boiler system?

What material are these taps made from?

These taps are constructed from robust brass for durability.

Do I need separate hot and cold water feeds?

Yes, as these are separate basin taps, they require independent hot and cold water connections.

What is the warranty period for these taps?

Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's documentation for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary.

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

Yes, the taps are suitable for all plumbing systems, which typically includes pressure-equalized systems.

Troubleshooting

Low water pressure

Check if the aerator (at the tip of the spout) is clogged with limescale or debris. Unscrew it and clean it. Also, ensure no kinks are present in the supply hoses and that the main water supply is fully open.

Taps are dripping when turned off

This often indicates worn internal seals or cartridges. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and inspect the cartridge for damage or wear. Replace the cartridge if necessary.

Difficulty controlling temperature

Ensure the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected to the respective levers. Check for any blockages in the hot or cold water lines that might be affecting flow.

Chrome finish is dull or stained

Clean the taps with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and restore shine.

  • Provides excellent control over water temperature and flow.
  • Built with durable brass for longevity.
  • Simple to install for DIY enthusiasts or plumbers.
  • Works with any existing plumbing system.

Cons

  • Requires separate hot and cold water connections.
  • Polished chrome finish may require frequent cleaning to maintain shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These basin taps are designed for easy installation. Ensure your existing plumbing has separate hot and cold water supply lines. Standard plumbing connections are required. For best results, professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing.

Compatibility: The Malmo range is suitable for all standard plumbing systems, including conventional vented systems, gravity-fed systems, and combination boiler systems.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly clean the taps with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn water spots, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
