The Sicily Wall Mounted Basin Mixer Tap requires a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar to function optimally.
Can this tap be used with all types of water systems?
Yes, it is suitable for combination boiler systems, gravity-fed systems (with a pump), MegaFlo systems, and pumped hot water systems, provided the minimum pressure is met.
How do I clean the silver finish?

What material is the tap made from?
The tap is constructed from durable, high-quality solid brass.
What is the purpose of the diffuser?
The diffuser is fitted to ensure a steady, non-splashing spray of water, making the tap more user-friendly and keeping the surrounding area dry.
Does the tap come with a waste fitting?
This product is for the tap only; waste fittings are typically sold separately.
Is installation difficult?
Wall-mounted installation requires plumbing expertise. It is strongly recommended to have this tap installed by a qualified professional plumber.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow or pressure
Ensure your water system meets the minimum 0.5 bar pressure. Check for any blockages in the water supply lines or within the tap's aerator/diffuser. If using a gravity-fed system, verify the pump is functioning correctly.
Tap drips when turned off
The ceramic disc cartridge may be worn or have debris. Try tightening the handle mechanism. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Water splashing excessively
Check if the diffuser is properly seated and free from limescale. Ensure the spout length is appropriate for the basin depth. A professional might be needed to adjust water flow if it's too high for the basin.
Difficulty operating the lever
Ensure the lever is correctly attached and that there are no obstructions. The ceramic cartridge might require lubrication or replacement if stiff.
