Basin Mixers FAQs

Q. What is a Basin Mixer?

A basin mixer is a faucet or tap that combines incoming hot and cold water and delivers it through a single spout. Thus, it allows temperature control through a lever or knob by adjusting the flow of hot and cold water accordingly.

Q. What are the benefits of a Basin Mixer?

  • Temperature Control: Easy mixing of water to achieve the desired temperature.
  • Multifunctioning: It performs three functions in one product: providing hot water, cold water, and mixed water.
  • Ease of Use: The single-handle design of most basin mixers makes them incredibly easy to use. With a simple movement, you can control both the water temperature and flow, making them ideal for users of all ages.

Q. How does a Basin Mixer work?

Hot and cold water enters from the respective tee cocks, and then it passes through the pipe connections into the basin mixer. From there, the flow of each side is controlled by using a ceramic cartridge or two brass cartridges. Specifically, for a ceramic cartridge, the flow of hot and cold water can be controlled by simply opening up the lever handle and moving it towards the left or right. On the other hand, for brass cartridges, the flow of hot and cold water can be controlled by simply opening the respective cartridges using knobs.

Q. What is the difference between a basin mixer and a basin tap?

In essence, a mixer has two inputs and one output, whereas a tap has one input and one output.

Q. What causes low pressure of water in wash Basin Mixers?

The quality of water flowing through the faucets greatly affects the pressure with time. Specifically, the particles in water, along with the salts, tend to accumulate and block the aerator. As the area for water to flow through the aerator reduces, the flow rate decreases. Consequently, it appears to the user that the pressure of water has become low.

Q. How to replace a wash basin mixer?

  • Close the T-cocks
  • Unplug the pipe connections from the t-cocks
  • Unscrew the basin mixer from underneath the basin sink
  • Remove the basin mixer
  • Install the new one
  • Tighten it
  • Plug the new pipe connections into the t-cock
  • Open the t-cocks

Q. What should I do if I notice a leak in lever basin mixers?

It is best practice to turn off the water supply to the leaked fittings. Water dripping can damage the tiles and marble in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Afterward, locate the leak. It can be in any one of the three areas:

  • From the connection between the piece and the pipe connection
  • From the ceramic cartridge
  • From the outlet

Here is what you can do to resolve the issues:

First Case: check the O-ring seals of the pipe connections and tighten them to the basin mixer

Second Case: remove the lever handle and tighten the check-nut to see if the leak stops. If not, then replace the ceramic cartridge.

Third Case: lower the lever handle which closes the 35mm ceramic cartridge. If the leak doesn’t stop, then replace the cartridge.
