5. Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for single-hole (Monotrou) installation. Follow these general steps for installation:
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink hole is clean and clear. Turn off the main water supply.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the sink hole. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (gasket, washer, and nut). Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Hoses:
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet.
- Connect the filtered water supply line to the dedicated inlet on the faucet.
- Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench to tighten an additional quarter turn. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Sprayer Hose: Attach the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting under the faucet. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run both regular and filtered water for a few minutes to flush the lines.

7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. The brushed nickel finish is designed to resist water stains and fingerprints.
- Limescale Removal: Easily remove limescale deposits from the spray nozzles by gently rubbing them with your finger.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia, bleach, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaks from connections | Loose connections or damaged washers. | Ensure all water supply lines and mounting nuts are tightened correctly. Check and replace any worn washers. |
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator or partially closed shut-off valves. | Unscrew the aerator from the spout and clean any debris. Ensure hot and cold water shut-off valves are fully open. |
| Filtered water drips | Internal valve issue or residual water. | A small amount of dripping after use can be normal. If persistent, ensure the filtered water handle is fully closed. If the issue continues, professional inspection may be required. |
| Sprayer does not retract fully | Weight on hose is dislodged or hose is obstructed. | Check under the sink to ensure the counterweight on the sprayer hose is properly positioned and that the hose is not tangled or obstructed. |
