Troubleshooting

Tap dripping from spout after turning off

This usually indicates an issue with the ceramic disc valve. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If the dripping persists, the ceramic disc may need replacement. Refer to the guarantee for support.

Low water pressure from the shower handset

Check if the shower hose is kinked. Ensure the anti-limescale nozzles on the handset are clean. Verify that the water supply pressure is adequate and that no other outlets are drawing significant water simultaneously.

Tap feels stiff or difficult to turn

The 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves may require lubrication or replacement if they are excessively stiff. Ensure no debris is lodged in the valve mechanism. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Water leaks from the base of the tap

Check that the metal back nuts are securely tightened. Inspect the seals and ensure they are correctly seated. If leaks continue, professional assessment may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation requires connecting the tap to your hot and cold water supply lines and mounting it to the deck of your bath. The tap comes with metal back nuts for secure fitting. Ensure you have the necessary plumbing tools and skills. The waste fitting needs to be purchased separately and connected to the overflow and waste pipe.

Compatibility:

This is a deck-mounted bath shower mixer tap, suitable for baths with pre-drilled tap holes. It is designed to work with standard UK water pressure systems. Ensure your water system can supply adequate pressure for both the tap and the shower handset to function effectively. The tap requires separate hot and cold water feeds.

Care:

To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plating. For the shower handset, periodically rub the nozzles with a dry cloth or finger to remove any limescale build-up. Descaling solutions can be used sparingly if needed, following product instructions.
