Q: What does WELS stand for?
A: WELS stands for ‘Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards’. It is an Australian government initiative which enforces mandatory labelling of all tapware and shower products sold in Australia, to indicate their water efficiency. The higher the WELS star rating on a product, the more water efficient the product is. Please refer to http://www.waterrating.gov.au/ for more information.
Q: Does your tapware comply with WELS?
A: Yes, all of our tapware and shower products meet stringent Australian Standards and comply with the Australian Governments mandatory WELS testing.
Q: What is the difference between mixers and 3-piece tap sets? Is one better than the other?
A: Mixer taps have become much more popular in recent years both due to design and function. Mixer taps use a ceramic disc cartridge technology to mix and control the flow of water, as opposed to conventional tapware which uses a jumper valve system. Mixers have a modern ‘one spout-one handle’ look, while 3-piece sets offer a more traditional aesthetic.
Q: Can your tapware be used with low and high water pressure?
A: Yes, it can be used with both low and high if the pressure in no less than 150 kpa and no higher the 500 kpa. Should the pressure exceed 500 kpa our products can still be used providing an approved pressure limiting device is applied.
Q: Do I need a plumber to install my taps?
A: Yes, it is recommended that you have a licenced Plumber install your tapware otherwise it may void your warranty.
Q: What do I do if I have high pressure water?
A: Call a licenced Plumber, there are a number of options for you to correct the unequal pressure, like a pressure compensating valve.
Q: If my tap is dripping what should I do?
A: There are many reasons why your tap might be leaking. We recommend that you have your washers and seals replaced every 12 months. These can be purchased from your local plumbing supply store. If you have no plumbing experience, please seek help from a professional plumber.
Q: What warranty do you provide for your products?
