Product Information

Full details

The Bristan Cobalt Basin Mixer Tap in Matt Black is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, stylish, and functional update for their bathroom basin. Its key benefit is the combination of bold aesthetics with user-friendly operation and water-saving features. A potential caveat is that it requires a minimum dynamic pressure of 0.3 bar for optimal performance. This deck-mounted, single-lever mixer tap offers a contemporary solution with a durable solid brass build, a long-life ceramic cartridge, and an integrated flow regulator to limit water usage. It includes a clicker waste and is WRAS-approved, backed by a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee.

FAQs

What is the flow rate of this tap?

What is the warranty period for this tap?

The tap comes with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee, providing peace of mind for your purchase.

Is this tap suitable for low-pressure systems?

The tap requires a minimum dynamic pressure of 0.3 bar to operate effectively. It is designed for standard domestic water pressures and may not perform optimally on very low-pressure systems.

How do I clean the matt black finish?

Clean using a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Does the tap come with a waste fitting?

Yes, this basin mixer tap includes a clicker waste fitting for your convenience.

What material is the tap made from?

The tap is constructed from durable solid brass for long-lasting performance.

Can this tap be used with a combi boiler?

Yes, the tap is suitable for use with combi boilers provided the system meets the minimum dynamic pressure requirement of 0.3 bar.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water or flow is very low.

Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure the flexible tails are not kinked. Verify that the minimum dynamic pressure requirement of 0.3 bar is met. Clean any debris from the aerator or cartridge if necessary.

Dripping from the spout after shutting off.

The ceramic disc cartridge may be worn or have debris. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for cartridge removal and cleaning, or consider replacing the cartridge if damage is suspected.

Leaking from the base of the tap.

Ensure the tap is securely fixed to the basin using the metal fixing nut. Check that the seals and washers under the tap base are correctly seated and not damaged. Retighten the fixing nut if necessary, but avoid overtightening.

Lever is stiff or difficult to move.

The ceramic cartridge may require lubrication or cleaning. Refer to the product manual for cartridge maintenance or replacement instructions. Ensure no debris is obstructing the lever mechanism.

Water temperature is not as expected.

Check that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the respective inlets. Ensure your hot water system is functioning correctly and providing water at the expected temperature. The cartridge might need adjustment or replacement if temperature control is consistently poor.
