Product Information
Full details
The Smeg MAF50WH is a retro-inspired 3-in-1 kitchen mixer tap designed for homeowners seeking both classic aesthetics and modern functionality. Its key benefit is providing pure, filtered water directly from the tap, reducing the need for bottled water and enhancing daily convenience. A potential caveat is its specialized 3-in-1 function, which may require specific plumbing considerations during setup.

FAQs
How often should I replace the water filter cartridge?

What type of filter is used?
The tap utilizes a 0.5-micron filtration system designed to reduce impurities, chlorine, and limescale.
Can I install this tap myself?
While installation is possible for experienced DIYers, it involves connecting multiple water lines. If you are not comfortable with plumbing, professional installation is recommended.
What is the height of the tap?
The maximum height of the tap is 45 cm, with a maximum height above the embedding surface also at 45 cm.
Does this tap come with hoses?
Yes, three hoses are included with the tap for hot, cold, and filtered water connections.
What is the swivel angle of the spout?
The spout offers a full 360° swivel angle for maximum flexibility.
What material is the tap made from?

Troubleshooting
No filtered water dispensing
Check that the dedicated filtered water line is properly connected, the filter cartridge is correctly installed and not clogged, and the filter's isolation valve (if applicable) is open.
Low water pressure from filtered tap
The filter cartridge may be clogged and needs replacement, or there might be a blockage in the filtered water line.
Tap is leaking
Ensure all connections are tight. Check the ceramic cartridge for damage and consider replacing it if wear is apparent. Inspect seals and O-rings.
Standard hot/cold water not mixing correctly
Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected to the tap and that the ceramic cartridge is functioning properly.

- Mounting: The tap is designed for deck mounting. Secure it through the pre-drilled hole in your sink or countertop. Ensure the sealing is watertight.

- Compatible with standard 3/8" plumbing connections.
Care:
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
