Water leaks from the base of the tap.
Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check that the seals and washers are correctly in place and not damaged.

Use the QuickClean feature by gently rubbing the silicone aerator. For stubborn buildup, soak a cloth in vinegar and wrap it around the aerator for a short period, then rinse.
