Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping from the spout
The ceramic cartridge may require cleaning or replacement. Check for debris and ensure it is seated correctly. If the issue persists, replace the cartridge following manufacturer instructions.
Low water flow from the spout or hose
Check the aerator at the end of the spout for blockages. Unscrew and clean it. Also, inspect the flexible tails and internal filters for debris. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
Pull-down hose is stiff or not retracting smoothly
Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed. Check the weight on the hose (if applicable) and ensure it is positioned correctly. Clean any visible debris from the hose mechanism.
Tap is loose on the sink
Tighten the fixing kit located underneath the sink. Ensure all components of the fixing kit are present and correctly assembled.
Difficulty controlling water temperature
Ensure hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected. The ceramic cartridge may need adjustment or replacement if temperature control is consistently poor.
