Tivoli products must be installed as per the supplier or manufacturer installation instructions, and/or in accordance with valid Water Regulations and generally accepted good plumbing practices and codes.

Balanced water pressure is essential, therefore a pressure reducing valve must be installed, if not already done, before the hot and cold-water supply is split.

Install an in-line strainer before water enters the piping to the building, this will prevent dirt from affecting the performance of your Tivoli product as dirt and debris found inside the product or its components is not covered by the guarantee.

Flush pipes before products are installed to prevent dirt being trapped inside the Tivoli product.

A GUIDE TO THE CORRECT APPLICATION FOR USE AND TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOUR TIVOLI PRODUCT

CORRECT APPLICATION FOR USE

All our taps are tested at a much higher pressure than will be used in normal use. In order to obtain the best use and long life of your tap we advise you to use the following guidelines:

  • Single lever taps must have a balanced water pressure of no less than 2 bar (200Kpa) and not higher than 6 bar (600Kpa). This can be achieved by placing a pressure reducing valve before both the hot & cold water split.
  • Geyser temperatures should range between 55°C and 60°C. This can be adjusted on the thermostat on your geyser.
  • When installing your tap, please use the correct tools and always cover any parts that are to be tightened with a spanner with a cloth to avoid any damage to the finish.
  • If painting or tiling is being done after the taps have been installed, please cover the taps so they do not get damaged.
  • We strongly recommend that you use an angle valve on all taps, as this will enable you to isolate the tap in the future without turning all the water off first.
  • Install an in-line strainer before the water enters the piping to avoid dirt & debris from affecting the product.

AERATOR MAINTENANCE

We recommend that once a month the aerator on your tap should be cleaned out, this will eliminate any small particles of sand and impurities which may have been collected by the filter. If not cleaned this could cause the flow to be reduced or impaired.

CLEANING YOUR TAPS

  • To clean your taps and keep them looking as good as new only use a microfibre cloth and warm water.
  • After you have cleaned the tap, buff to a shine with a soft dry cloth. Pass this information to anyone cleaning the taps.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning products or tools which could damage the finish.
  • Do no use cleaning agents that contain hydrochloric acid, formic acid, ammonia, acetic acid or any other type of aggressive chemicals.
