Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your pot filler.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the stainless steel finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Leak Prevention: Always ensure both the wall and spout handles are fully closed after use to prevent drips and leaks.
