Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that could damage the finish.
- Mineral Deposits: For hard water spots, use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply with a soft cloth, let sit briefly, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and reattach.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the following common issues and solutions:
- Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
- Leaks from Faucet Base: Ensure mounting nuts are tightened securely. Check for proper seating of gaskets.
- Leaks from Handles: This may indicate a worn O-ring or cartridge. Consult the full installation guide or contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Water Temperature Issues: Verify that both hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly and that the water heater is functioning.
