FAQs
How does the Eco Start technology work?
The Eco Start system defaults the tap handle to the cold water position when in the upright position. To get hot water, you must intentionally move the lever sideways, preventing accidental boiler activation and saving energy.
What is the 'Top-Fix' system?
The Top-Fix system allows you to install the tap from above the sink. The base is dropped into the tap hole and secured from the top, making installation quicker and easier, especially in tight spaces.
What is included in the installation kit?
The kit includes everything needed: an Allen key, two isolation valves, the Top Fix Easyfit base, the Easyfit tool, and flexible connection hoses (flexi tails).
What is the minimum water pressure required?
A minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar is recommended for optimal performance of the Bristan Maple Easyfit Mono Sink Mixer.
How do I clean the brushed brass finish?
Clean using a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the finish.
Does this tap have a ceramic disc cartridge?
Yes, it features a long-life ceramic cartridge, which ensures durability and smooth operation.
Can I use this tap with a hot water system that isn't a boiler?
Yes, as long as your water system provides at least 0.5 bar pressure on the hot water supply, the tap will function correctly. The Eco Start feature is designed to work with standard hot water systems.
Troubleshooting
Tap is not dispensing water
Check that the water supply is turned on and that the isolation valves are open. Ensure flexi tails are not kinked.
Low water flow
Verify that the water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.5 bar). Check the aerator for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure isolation valves are fully open.
Hot water not activating correctly
Ensure the handle is moved sideways from the upright position to engage hot water. Check that the hot water supply is connected and functioning.
Tap feels loose
Re-tighten the fixings using the Easyfit tool or Allen key as per the installation guide. Ensure the Top Fix base is securely locked.
Brushed brass finish shows water spots
Wipe the tap dry after each use. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
