Troubleshooting
Stopper does not fit securely
Ensure you are using a standard-sized tap hole. Check for any debris or sealant residue on the sink or stopper that might be preventing a snug fit.
Stopper is loose after installation
Gently press down on the stopper again. If it remains loose, the tap hole may be slightly larger than standard, or there might be an issue with the sink's casting.
Discoloration on the stopper
This could be due to harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and follow the care instructions. Avoid leaving acidic or alkaline substances in prolonged contact with the surface.
