Product Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Mixer drips after being turned off
  1. Draining – due to the design of some mixer spouts, water will be held and drip until emptied.

• Poor water flow
  1. Insufficient water pressure – increase water pressure possibly installing a pump.

  3. Blockage – check water is reaching the mixer, check valve, mixer tails and supply pipes.
  4. Isolation valves not fully opened.
• Water not mixing

  2. Blockage – check water is reaching the mixer, check valve, mixer tails and supply pipes.
