Is this tap suitable for low water pressure systems?

While designed for standard pressures, its efficient design can perform well. However, for very low pressure systems, performance may vary. Check Ideal Standard's specifications for minimum pressure requirements.

Can I use this as a bath shower mixer?

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.

Leaking from the base of the tap

Check that the fixing kit is securely tightened and that the seals are correctly seated. Ensure the tap is properly mounted to the bath deck.
