FAQs

Do these taps come with a waste fitting?

No, the waste fitting is not included with the Ideal Standard Calista Basin Pillar Taps. It needs to be purchased separately.

What is the flow rate of these taps?

These taps are equipped with 4L per minute inlet tail flow limiters to promote water economy.

What type of cartridge do these taps use?

They feature a durable and long-lasting ceramic disc cartridge for smooth operation and leak prevention.

Are these taps suitable for low water pressure systems?

While they are designed to work efficiently, optimal performance is usually achieved with adequate water pressure. The flow limiter helps manage flow regardless of pressure to some extent.

What is the warranty period?

The Ideal Standard Calista Basin Pillar Taps come with a five-year manufacturer's warranty.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish.

Can these taps be used in a commercial setting?

Yes, they are suitable for both domestic and commercial use, being WRAS-approved and built for durability.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping or leaking

This is often due to a worn-out ceramic disc. The cartridge may need to be replaced. Turn off the water supply before attempting any maintenance.

Low water flow

Check if the flow restrictor is blocked with debris. If the flow is low from both hot and cold, check the main water supply. Ensure aerators (if present) are clean.

Difficulty operating lever handle

Ensure the handle is properly seated. If stiff, the internal cartridge may require lubrication or replacement. Turn off water supply before attempting to access the cartridge.

Tap makes noise when turned on/off

This could be due to water hammer or a loose internal component. Check for secure connections and ensure the water pressure is not excessively high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These basin pillar taps are designed for standard basin installations. Ensure you have a basin with two tap holes spaced appropriately for pillar taps. Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the respective tap inlets using appropriate plumbing fittings. Remember that the waste fitting is sold separately and will need to be installed into the basin's waste outlet.

Compatibility:

Compatible with standard plumbing systems for hot and cold water. They are suitable for basins designed to accept separate pillar taps. Ensure water pressure is within the recommended range for optimal performance, though the flow limiter helps manage higher pressures.

Care:

To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For limescale buildup, a mild solution of water and vinegar can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough rinse and drying with a soft cloth.
