Product Information
Full details
The BLANCO Mida Kitchen Mixer Tap in Anthracite is designed for modern kitchens, offering a stylish SILGRANIT-Look finish and robust durability. Its primary benefit is the high, 360° swivel spout, which greatly enhances usability for filling large items and working around the sink. A minor consideration is its specific requirement for a 35 mm drilling diameter during installation. Key features include its durable artificial stone construction, a long-lasting ceramic disc cartridge, a cold water start function for energy efficiency, and a patented jet regulator to minimize limescale.

FAQs
What material is the BLANCO Mida tap made of?
The tap features a SILGRANIT-Look finish, made from high-quality artificial stone composed of up to 80% quartz, providing durability and resistance.
What is the advantage of the cold water start function?
It's an energy-saving feature that ensures the tap defaults to cold water when the lever is in the central position, preventing unnecessary activation of the hot water system.
How do I clean the tap?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Wipe dry after use to prevent water spots.
What is the required drilling size for installation?
A drilling diameter of 35 mm is required for installation.
Is this tap suitable for low-pressure water systems?
No, this is a high-pressure tap and requires adequate water pressure to function optimally.
How does the swivel spout benefit me?
The 360° swivel spout provides great flexibility, allowing you to easily move the tap aside or position it for filling large containers and cleaning the sink.
What does the patented jet regulator do?
It helps to reduce limescale deposits, ensuring a consistent water flow and making maintenance easier.
Troubleshooting
Tap is not dispensing water
Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure the connecting hoses are securely attached and not kinked. Verify that the shut-off valves under the sink are open.
Low water pressure or weak flow
Clean the patented jet regulator by unscrewing it (if possible) and rinsing it under water. Check for any blockages in the connecting hoses or at the water supply point. Ensure your home's overall water pressure is adequate.
Tap is dripping from the spout
The ceramic disc cartridge may need servicing or replacement. This usually requires professional assistance or consulting the manufacturer's service manual.
Leaking from the base of the tap
Ensure the tap is securely mounted and the seals at the base are intact. If the leak persists, the internal seals may need to be replaced.
Lever feels stiff or loose
The internal cartridge mechanism might require lubrication or adjustment. Check the fixation of the lever handle. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly durable construction resistant to common kitchen damage.
- Excellent ergonomic design with a high, swiveling spout for versatile use.
- Energy-saving cold water start feature.
- Easy maintenance due to limescale reduction technology.
Cons
- Requires a specific 35 mm drilling diameter for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires a single tap hole with a drilling diameter of 35 mm. The tap comes with pre-assembled connecting hoses. For installation on stainless steel sinks, a reinforcement plate is included to ensure stability. Ensure your water pressure is suitable for a high-pressure tap.
Compatibility: This is a high-pressure tap, meaning it requires a minimum water pressure to function correctly. It is compatible with standard plumbing connections in most modern kitchens. The 35 mm drill hole requirement is standard for many kitchen mixer taps.
Care: To maintain the tap's appearance and functionality:
- Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the SILGRANIT-Look finish.
- For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution.
- Wipe the spout dry after use to prevent water spots.
- Periodically check and clean the patented jet regulator if you notice reduced water flow or uneven spray.
