FAQs
Is professional installation required for this tap?
While DIY installation is possible for those with plumbing experience, professional installation is highly recommended due to the nature of wall-mounted fixtures and concealed pipework.
What type of basin is this tap suitable for?
This tap is designed for countertop basins or wall-hung basins that do not have pre-drilled tap holes, offering a clean, minimalist installation.
How do I clean the brushed bronze finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the tap regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
What is the main advantage of a wall-mounted tap?
The primary advantage is the creation of a clean, uncluttered aesthetic by freeing up basin surfaces, which also enhances practicality.
Can I use this tap with a pressurized water system?
Yes, this tap is designed to work with standard pressurized water systems. Always ensure your system meets the minimum pressure requirements specified by the manufacturer.
What should I do if the water pressure is low?
First, check your main water supply and ensure the isolation valves for the tap are fully open. Then, inspect the aerator for any blockages. If problems persist, consult a plumber.
Does the brushed bronze finish fade over time?
The brushed bronze finish is designed for durability. With proper care and regular cleaning, it should maintain its appearance. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Low water flow
Check that the isolation valves are fully open. Clean the aerator at the end of the spout for any debris. Ensure there are no kinks in the flexible hoses if visible.
Tap leaks from the base
Ensure the mounting screws are securely tightened. Check the seals and washers behind the tap body for damage or wear and replace if necessary. This may require removing the tap.
Difficulty adjusting temperature or flow
The single lever cartridge may be obstructed or require servicing. If the lever feels stiff, there might be debris within the cartridge. Consult the manufacturer's guide for cartridge maintenance or replacement.
Water drips from the spout when turned off
This typically indicates a worn or faulty ceramic disc cartridge. The cartridge will need to be replaced. Refer to the installation manual for specific instructions on accessing and replacing the cartridge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of a wall-mounted basin mixer tap requires careful planning and often professional plumbing expertise.

Always follow the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions.
