FAQs

What is Bluestart technology?

Bluestart technology is an energy-saving feature that ensures cold water flows when the lever is in the central position. This prevents the boiler from unnecessarily heating water when it's not needed, such as for basic handwashing.

How does the Eco flow regulator save water?

The Eco flow regulator limits the maximum flow rate of water from the tap, typically to around 3.8L/min, while maintaining a comfortable and effective spray pattern for use. This reduces overall water consumption.

What is the expected lifespan of the FirmaFlow cartridge?

The FirmaFlow cartridge is designed for exceptional durability and is engineered to last for over 10 years of regular use.

Is the waste fitting included with the tap?

Yes, this basin mixer is supplied with a matching waste, completing the installation and aesthetic.

How do I clean the SmartShine finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the finish. Wipe dry to prevent water spots.

What is the warranty period for this tap?

The Ideal Standard Cerabase range, including this basin mixer, comes with a 5-year guarantee for peace of mind.

Can this tap be used with a low-pressure water system?

The tap is designed for optimal performance with a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 bar. While it will function at lower pressures, the water flow may be reduced.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off.

This may indicate an issue with the FirmaFlow cartridge. Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the cartridge may need replacement.

Low water flow from the spout.

Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator at the end of the spout for any blockages or debris. Ensure the Eco flow regulator is not obstructed.

Difficulty controlling water temperature.

Ensure hot and cold water supplies are connected correctly. Check for any blockages in the supply lines. The FirmaFlow cartridge regulates flow and temperature, so ensure it is functioning correctly.

Tap makes noise during operation.

This could be due to water pressure fluctuations or a loose component. Ensure all connections are secure and check water pressure is within the recommended range.

Water is not running cold when the lever is central.

Verify that the Bluestart technology is functioning as intended. Ensure the lever is in the exact center position, and that the hot water supply is not interfering. The cartridge is designed to default to cold in this position.
