Product Information

Full details

The Bristan Frammento Basin Mixer Tap in Brushed Brass is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and water-efficient solution for their bathroom. Its key benefit is the Eco Start technology, which saves energy by defaulting to cold water, reducing unnecessary boiler activation. A potential consideration is that the brushed brass finish, while on-trend, may require specific cleaning to maintain its appearance. This tap features a ceramic disc cartridge for durability, a flow regulator to limit water usage, and includes all necessary components for straightforward installation.

FAQs

What is Eco Start technology?

Eco Start technology means the tap defaults to cold water when the handle is in the central position. This saves energy by preventing your boiler from activating unless hot water is specifically needed.

How much water does this tap use?

The tap is fitted with a flow regulator that limits the water flow to a maximum of 5 litres per minute, making it water-efficient.

Do I need to buy anything else to install this tap?

No, the tap comes with everything you need for installation, including flexible tails and a clicker waste.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

The Bristan Frammento Basin Mixer Tap comes with a 10-year parts guarantee and a 1-year labour guarantee.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the finish.

Is this tap suitable for low water pressure systems?

Yes, the tap is designed to work with water pressures as low as 0.1 bar.

Are there other finishes available?

Yes, this tap is also available in other finishes, and co-ordinating bathroom taps are available to complete the look.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water

Check that the isolation valves are fully open and that there are no kinks in the flexible hoses. Ensure the water supply to the property is on.

Low water flow

Verify water pressure meets the minimum requirement (0.1 bar). Check if the flow regulator is obstructed or if there is a blockage in the flexible tails or the basin's waste pipe.

Hot water is not being dispensed

Ensure the tap handle is moved from the central (cold) position towards the side to engage the hot water. Check the hot water supply to the property and the boiler.

Tap drips after being turned off

The ceramic disc cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. Turn off the water supply, remove the handle, and inspect the cartridge. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Noise from the tap

This can sometimes be caused by water hammer or low pressure. Ensure water pressure is within the recommended range and check for loose fittings.
