Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, please review the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator or mineral build-up in nozzles. | Remove and clean the aerator. Wipe rubber nozzles to clear mineral deposits. Check water supply valves are fully open. |
| Leaking from Spout | Loose connections or worn cartridge. | Ensure all connections are tight. If leaking persists, the cartridge may need replacement (refer to warranty). |
| Sprayhead Does Not Retract Fully | Counterweight position or hose obstruction. | Check the position of the snap-on counterweight on the hose under the sink. Ensure the hose is not obstructed. |
