Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off.

The ceramic disc may be worn or debris may be caught in the valve. Try turning the water off, disassembling the handle and valve cartridge, cleaning it, and reassembling. If the problem persists, the cartridge may need replacement.

Low water flow from the tap.

Check the aerator for blockages and clean it. Also, ensure the isolation valves under the sink are fully open and check for kinks in the flexible hoses.

No hot or cold water from the tap.

Verify that the main water supply is on and that the corresponding isolation valves under the sink are open. Check flexible hoses for kinks or blockages.

Difficulty operating the handle.

Ensure the handle is properly attached and that no debris is obstructing its movement. If it feels stiff, the ceramic disc cartridge might require lubrication or replacement.
