4. Installation Instructions
This section outlines the steps for replacing an existing spray head with the Hansgrohe Talis C Pull-Out Spray Head. Ensure the water supply to the faucet is turned off before proceeding.
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the shut-off valves under your sink and turn them clockwise until the water flow stops completely.
- Disconnect Old Spray Head: Unscrew the old spray head from the pull-out hose. This usually involves twisting it counter-clockwise by hand. If it is tight, you may use a wrench, but be careful not to damage the hose.
- Inspect Hose Connection: Check the end of the pull-out hose for any debris or mineral buildup. Clean if necessary. Ensure the gasket or seal on the new spray head is properly seated.
- Attach New Spray Head: Screw the new Hansgrohe Talis C Pull-Out Spray Head onto the pull-out hose. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to ensure a secure, leak-free connection. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the shut-off valves counter-clockwise to restore water flow to the faucet.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the faucet and check for any leaks around the connection point of the new spray head. If leaks occur, tighten slightly more or re-check the gasket.
- Test Functionality: Test both the stream and spray functions of the new head.
5. Operating Instructions
The Hansgrohe Talis C Pull-Out Spray Head offers two primary spray modes:
- Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated flow of water for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a wider, more powerful spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
To switch between modes, press the button located on the spray head. The spray head can be pulled out from the faucet body for extended reach and maneuverability, and it retracts automatically when released.
6. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hansgrohe Talis C Pull-Out Spray Head.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the exterior regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for faucet finishes. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning Spray Nozzles: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate in the spray nozzles, affecting water flow. Gently rub the flexible silicone nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup. For stubborn deposits, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be applied to the nozzles for a short period, then rinsed.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Mineral buildup in nozzles or aerator. | Clean spray nozzles as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure water supply valves are fully open. |
| Leaking at connection point | Loose connection or damaged gasket. | Ensure the spray head is securely tightened to the hose. Check if the gasket is properly seated and undamaged. Replace gasket if necessary. |
| Spray pattern is uneven or erratic | Clogged spray nozzles. | Clean spray nozzles to remove mineral deposits. |
| Spray head does not retract smoothly | Hose obstruction or weight issue. | Check the hose under the sink for kinks or obstructions. Ensure the counterweight (if applicable to your faucet model) is properly positioned on the hose. |
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact Hansgrohe customer support.
