Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the spout

The ceramic disc cartridge may need replacement. Ensure the tap is turned off at the isolation valve before attempting any maintenance.

Low water flow from the tap

Check if the minimum operating pressure of 0.2 Bar is met. Inspect the aerator (if fitted) and the inlet pipes for any blockages. Ensure isolation valves are fully open.

Difficulty in controlling water temperature or flow

The ceramic disc cartridge might be stiff or obstructed. Ensure the handles are moving freely. If the issue persists, the cartridge may require cleaning or replacement.

Discoloration of the chrome finish

This can be due to harsh cleaning chemicals or prolonged exposure to certain substances. Clean with a mild detergent and water, and ensure the surface is dried after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
