FAQs
What is Ideal Pure technology?
Ideal Pure technology ensures safer drinking water by preventing direct contact between the water and internal brass or chrome-plated parts. This helps to reduce potential contaminants.
How much water do the Eco flow regulators save?
The factory-fitted 5 lpm (liters per minute) regulators significantly reduce water flow compared to standard taps, leading to substantial water and energy savings.
Can I change the flow rate if I prefer more water?
The taps are supplied with both Eco flow regulators and flow straighteners. While the regulators are designed for conservation, the flow straighteners are an option for low-pressure systems, and adjustments can be made according to plumbing regulations and preferences.
Are these taps suitable for all bathroom types?
Yes, their adaptable nature with included flow straighteners makes them suitable for various plumbing systems, including those with low water pressure.
What is the warranty period for these taps?
Please refer to the product packaging or the Ideal Standard website for specific warranty details, as these can vary.
How do I clean the taps to maintain their finish?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surface.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow from tap
Check if the Eco flow regulator is clean. If water pressure is low, try installing the provided flow straightener.
Dripping tap when turned off
This may indicate a worn internal cartridge. Consult the user manual for cartridge replacement or contact customer support.
Tap is noisy during operation
Ensure the tap is securely fitted and check water pressure. A flow straightener may help reduce noise in high-pressure systems.
Water discolored or has an unusual taste
Ensure the Ideal Pure technology is functioning as intended. Flush the system thoroughly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
