Taps and Pre-Rinse Sprays –
We pressure and flow test 100% of our products before dispatching them. If you are experiencing operating problems with an installation involving a Mechline Tap, Pre-Rinse Spray or Basin, please in the first Instance contact the installer and ask them to carry out the following fault finding procedure. Using this process will ensure that any issues with the Installation can be quickly and effectively identified and remedied.
• Has the product been correctly installed In line with the manufacturer’s instructions? Is there a kinked water hose feeding the product for example?
• Has the correct product been selected for the intended use?
• Water pressure – products are designed to operate within specific parameters. Is the water pressure to high, or too low? If there is a hot and cold feed, is the differential between the hot and cold feeds causing the issue?
• Is the issue a result of water hardness inhibiting the full function of the equipment?
• Has any debris or limescale washed down the water feed pipes, causing the product to block or fail?
• Is the product not working as a result of misuse or damage?
• Having checked the above, is the Mechline product considered to be failing to work?
