This Bristan Frammento basin mixer tap in gun metal grey is ideal for homeowners looking to reduce energy and water consumption without compromising on style. Its standout benefit is the Eco Start technology, which prevents accidental hot water activation, saving energy. A potential caveat is that the flow regulator, while saving water, might require users to adapt to a lower flow rate. Key features include Eco Start, a flow regulator, a ceramic disc cartridge, and a gun metal grey finish.

Eco Start means the tap defaults to cold water when the handle is in the central position. Hot water is only activated when you intentionally move the lever to the left, preventing unnecessary boiler use and saving energy.
This tap is fitted with a flow regulator that limits water usage to 5 litres per minute.
The gun metal grey finish is designed for durability, but like all finishes, it requires gentle cleaning with a soft cloth to maintain its appearance and avoid scratches.
The tap comes complete with flexible connection hoses and a clicker waste fitting.
Bristan offers a 10-year guarantee on parts and a 1-year guarantee on labour for this tap.
Yes, this tap is suitable for use with combi boilers, as well as other standard UK hot water systems.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a weak vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly.
This typically indicates an issue with the ceramic disc cartridge. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the cartridge may need to be cleaned or replaced.
Check that the flow regulator is not blocked. Also, inspect the aerator (if present) for debris. Ensure shut-off valves under the basin are fully open.
Confirm that the handle is being moved sufficiently to the left to engage the hot water supply. Check your hot water system is functioning correctly. Ensure the tap's flexible hoses are not kinked.
The ceramic disc cartridge may require cleaning or lubrication. If the handle movement is stiff, the cartridge might be nearing the end of its life and may need replacing.
Setup: The tap comes with everything required for installation, including flexible hoses and a clicker waste. Ensure you have standard plumbing connections. Follow the included manufacturer's instructions for a secure fit. The flexible tails simplify connection to hot and cold water supply points.
Compatibility: This is a mono basin mixer tap, meaning it is designed for basins with a single tap hole. It is compatible with standard UK plumbing systems. Please check the product dimensions against your basin to ensure a proper fit.
Care: To maintain the gun metal grey finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale, use a mild solution of water and vinegar, rinsing thoroughly afterwards. Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
