Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off
The ceramic disc cartridge may require cleaning or replacement. Ensure the tap is fully turned off. If the dripping persists, contact customer support.
Low water flow
Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator (if present) and the inlet filters for blockages. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible tails.
Difficulty operating lever handles
The ceramic disc cartridge may be stiff. Try gently wiggling the handle. If resistance is significant, the cartridge may need servicing or replacement.
