FAQs
What material are these taps made of?
The Pro Tap Classic Basin Pillar Taps feature a brass body construction with a chrome-plated exterior.
What is the minimum water pressure required?
A minimum water pressure of 0.3 bar is required for these taps to operate effectively.
How long is the guarantee for these taps?
These taps come with a 5-year guarantee.
How should I clean the silver finish?
Wipe with a mild detergent and a soft damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Are these taps suitable for a shower?
No, these are specifically designed as basin pillar taps for sinks and basins, not for shower applications.
What does 'full turn head valve' mean?
It means you need to turn the handle a full rotation (or equivalent for quarter-turn) to fully open or close the water flow, allowing for precise control.
Can I install these myself?
Installation requires basic plumbing knowledge. If you are not comfortable with plumbing, it is recommended to hire a professional.
Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping when turned off
Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the internal valve may need adjustment or replacement. Consult the warranty information for service.
Low water flow from tap
Check that the water supply is fully on and that the system meets the minimum 0.3 bar pressure requirement. Ensure aerator (if present) is clean and free of debris.
Difficulty turning the tap handle
The valve mechanism might be stiff. Try a gentle but firm turn. If resistance is significant, check for obstructions or consider if maintenance is needed.
Water is not hot or cold enough
Verify the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the respective inlets and that the household water heating system is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires plumbing knowledge. Ensure water supply is turned off before starting. Connect the taps to the hot and cold water supply lines according to standard plumbing practices. A minimum water pressure of 0.3 bar is recommended for proper operation.
Compatibility: These taps are designed for standard basin installations. Check your existing plumbing configuration to ensure compatibility with the inlet connections.
Care: To maintain the chrome-plated surface, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish. After cleaning, dry the taps thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots.
