FAQs

What is included with this basin mixer?

The package includes the basin mixer tap, flexible installation tails, and fixing components. A separate basin waste is not included.

What is the water flow rate of this tap?

This tap is equipped with a 5-litre per minute eco flow regulator, designed to conserve water.

What type of cartridge does this tap use?

It features a ceramic disc cartridge, known for its durability and smooth operation.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Ideal Standard Calista Basin Mixer comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty.

Is this tap suitable for a bathroom with low water pressure?

While the tap is designed for efficiency, performance can be affected by very low water pressure. It's recommended to check your system's pressure against Ideal Standard's specifications.

How do I clean the chrome finish without damaging it?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads.

Can I install this tap myself?

The tap includes flexible tails for easier installation, making it manageable for DIY. However, if you are unsure, professional installation is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping or leaking

Check that the tap is fully turned off. If dripping persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need servicing or replacement. Ensure the tap is securely fitted and not overtightened.

Low water flow

Check that the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect the aerator/eco flow regulator for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses.

Difficulty operating the lever

Ensure the tap is correctly installed. If the lever feels stiff or loose, the ceramic disc cartridge may require adjustment or replacement.

Tap is noisy during operation

Check water pressure. Some noise can be normal, but persistent whistling or rattling may indicate an issue with the cartridge or flow rate. Ensure all connections are tight.
