FAQs

What material is the tap made from?

The tap features a high-quality brass body with solid chrome plating.

Does this tap require both hot and cold water connections?

Yes, as a mixer tap, it is designed to connect to both hot and cold water supplies to provide mixed water.

How do I clean the tap to prevent water spots?

Wipe the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. For best results, avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this tap suitable for high-pressure water systems?

The tap is designed for standard water pressures. Extreme pressure may require a pressure-reducing valve.

What is the advantage of the waterfall spout?

The waterfall spout provides a wider, softer, and more visually appealing water flow that minimizes splashing.

What type of cartridge does this tap use?

It uses a durable 1/4 turn ceramic disc cartridge.

Can I install this tap myself?

While it can be installed by a DIY enthusiast, professional installation is recommended to ensure a proper, leak-free seal and connection.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the base.

Ensure all connections are tightened correctly. Re-apply plumber's tape to threaded connections and tighten securely. If the leak persists, professional plumbing assistance may be required.

Low water flow.

Check that the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator (at the end of the spout) for any debris or limescale buildup and clean it. Ensure water pressure meets the tap's requirements.

Single lever is stiff or difficult to move.

The ceramic disc cartridge may require lubrication or replacement. If the tap is new, it may loosen with regular use. For persistent stiffness, consult the manufacturer or a plumber.

Water temperature is not mixing correctly.

Verify that both the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap. Check the functionality of your home's water heater and cold water supply.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct sealing and connection to existing water pipes and to prevent leaks. Ensure the water pressure is within the recommended range for optimal performance.
