The Xcel Home Aston Tap Indices provide a key benefit of restoring a neat, finished look while offering clear 'Poeth' (hot) and 'Oer' (cold) labeling. A potential caveat is their specific design for Aston style taps, requiring compatibility verification.

The product is supplied as pairs. You will have a spare 'Poeth' and 'Oer' insert for future needs or if one is lost.
Ensure the slot on the tap handle is clean and free from debris. Check that you are using the correct index for the correct handle (Poeth/Oer) and that the tap handle style is indeed Aston compatible.
Gently remove the index and re-insert, ensuring it is pushed in fully and evenly. If the slot on the tap handle is damaged or worn, it may not hold the index securely. Consider professional tap repair if the handle itself is compromised.

Care: To clean the tap indices, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lettering and the material. Regular dusting and wiping with a damp cloth will maintain their appearance.
