FAQs
Is this tap suitable for low-pressure systems?
The Vitellio Fontus is optimized for standard household pressures; it may not perform adequately in systems with very low gravity-fed pressure.
How often should I clean the surface?
Wiping the tap with a soft, damp cloth daily will prevent water spots and keep the finish looking new.
Are replacement parts available?
Yes, standard replacement parts such as cartridges can be sourced through professional plumbing suppliers.
Can I install this myself?
While it is possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended to ensure warranties are upheld and leaks are avoided.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes, the tap includes the necessary mounting hardware required for standard basin or bath deck installation.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is slow or inconsistent
Check the aerator for debris or mineral buildup and rinse it thoroughly under running water.
Dripping from the spout
Ensure the handle is fully closed; if dripping persists, the internal ceramic cartridge may need to be inspected or replaced.
Leaking at the base
Check that the mounting nuts underneath the basin are tightened correctly and that the seals are properly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, the tap is intended for deck-mounted installations. Ensure your bathroom plumbing layout matches the standard dual-inlet configuration before proceeding with the install. We strongly recommend hiring a licensed plumber to handle the connection to your existing water lines to guarantee proper sealing and pressure compatibility.
For daily care, wipe the fixture down with a soft, microfiber cloth after each use to prevent hard water deposits. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. If the handles become stiff over time, the internal cartridges may need a light silicone-based lubricant, though this is rarely necessary with regular use.
