Low Pressure Compatibility Explained
With a minimum operating pressure of just 0.5 bar, the Charaton basin mixer is ideal for gravity-fed systems, older properties, and installations where water pressure is limited. Many standard taps require 1.0 bar or higher, making them unsuitable for low-pressure systems. This tap is specifically engineered to deliver smooth, reliable operation even at 0.5 bar, ensuring consistent performance without the need for pumps or pressure boosters.
Hidden Adjustable Flow Direction
The innovative hidden adjustable flow direction feature allows you to fine-tune where the water stream lands in your basin. This is particularly useful for optimizing water flow to avoid splashing, directing water away from soap dishes or toothbrush holders, or adjusting for different basin shapes. The adjustment mechanism is concealed within the tap body, maintaining the clean, minimalist aesthetic.
Replaces Finissimo Basin Mixer
If you're looking to replace the discontinued Finissimo Basin Mixer & Waste in Chrome, the Charaton is the recommended direct replacement. It offers similar dimensions, low-pressure compatibility, and contemporary styling, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement option for existing Finissimo installations.
Installation & Compatibility
Designed for deck-mounted installation on bathroom basins, countertops, or vanity units with a single 35mm diameter hole. Compatible with standard UK 15mm hot and cold water supplies. Flexible tap tails included for easy connection to isolation valves or direct to pipework. Suitable for all plumbing systems including gravity-fed, combi boiler, and unvented systems with minimum 0.5 bar pressure. Professional installation recommended, though suitable for competent DIY with basic plumbing knowledge.
Water Pressure Requirements
Minimum pressure: 0.5 bar (perfect for gravity-fed systems and low-pressure installations)
Recommended pressure: 1.0-3.0 bar for optimal performance
Maximum pressure: 5.0 bar (pressure reducing valve recommended if supply exceeds this)
Guarantee Coverage
This tap comes with comprehensive dual guarantee coverage:
5-Year Guarantee: Covers the tap body and chrome finish against manufacturing defects, corrosion, and tarnishing
3-Year Guarantee: Covers all internal valves, cartridges, and moving parts against mechanical failure
This extended guarantee demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in product quality and provides long-term peace of mind.
Maintenance & Care
The chrome finish wipes clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or limescale removers containing acids that may damage the plating. In hard water areas, regular cleaning prevents limescale buildup. The ceramic disc cartridge provides smooth, drip-free operation with minimal maintenance required.
Applications
Perfect for residential bathrooms, en-suites, cloakrooms, guest bathrooms, and commercial washrooms. Particularly suited to properties with gravity-fed water systems, older homes with lower pressure, and installations where standard taps don't perform adequately. Ideal for wall-hung basins, countertop basins, semi-recessed basins, and vanity unit installations.
Contemporary Design
The Charaton range features clean, minimalist lines with a gently curved spout and ergonomic single-lever control. The compact 159mm height makes it suitable for most basin configurations without overwhelming smaller basins. The polished chrome finish coordinates beautifully with modern bathroom accessories, shower fittings, and contemporary sanitaryware.
