Tap FAQ Section
What makes Tap different from conventional faucets?
Tap incorporates advanced flow regulation technology that maintains strong water pressure while using 30% less water than standard faucets. Our ceramic disc valves ensure precise temperature control and eliminate dripping, which conventional washers can't match.
How often should I perform maintenance on my Tap system?
Tap requires minimal maintenance due to its high-quality construction. We recommend checking the aerator every 6 months for mineral deposits (depending on your water hardness) and cleaning it if necessary. The ceramic discs typically last 10+ years without replacement.
Can Tap be installed as a DIY project or does it require professional installation?
Tap is designed for easy installation with standard plumbing connections. Most homeowners with basic plumbing skills can install it using common tools. However, we recommend professional installation for commercial settings or if you're replacing significantly different plumbing configurations.
