Product Information

Full details

The Ideal Standard Ceraflex Basin Mixer in Silver is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, eco-friendly, and high-performance tap. Its key benefit lies in combining effortless style with water-saving technology and rapid installation. A potential caveat is that the waste is not included, requiring a separate purchase. This tap features a slim, tactile handle, a FirmaFlow® ceramic disc cartridge for precise control, and an aerator that limits flow to 5L per minute while creating a soft, frothy water stream. The EasyFix® system ensures up to 30% faster installation.

FAQs

What is the water flow rate of this tap?

This tap is fitted with a 5L per minute flow regulator and an aerator to promote water saving.

Does the tap come with a waste fitting?

No, the waste fitting is not included with this model and must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What type of cartridge does this tap use?

It uses a FirmaFlow® ceramic disc cartridge, known for its durability and precision control.

Is this tap suitable for low water pressure systems?

While WRAS approved, performance can vary with very low pressure. The aerator helps create a more voluminous feel, but for optimal performance, standard household water pressure is recommended.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

Ideal Standard offers a five-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to their terms and conditions.

How does the EasyFix® system work?

The EasyFix® system is designed to simplify the installation process, often involving fewer parts and easier access, allowing for up to 30% faster fitting times compared to traditional methods.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping

The FirmaFlow® ceramic disc cartridge is usually very reliable. Check for any debris caught in the cartridge by carefully disassembling and cleaning it, or contact customer support if the issue persists.

Low water flow

The 5L per minute flow regulator is designed to save water. Ensure the aerator is clean and free of debris. If the flow is still lower than expected, check for blockages in the connecting hoses or your home's water supply.

Handle is stiff or loose

Check the screw securing the handle. If it's too tight, it may cause stiffness; if too loose, it may feel wobbly. Adjust as necessary according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Difficulty installing

Refer to the EasyFix® system instructions. Ensure flexible tails are properly aligned and connections are made before fully tightening. If issues persist, consult a qualified plumber.
