Kitchen Tap - splashing

bluedrop

Hi all,
I have this lovely looking tap in my kitchen. Its an absolute nightmare to use. It splashes water all over my worktop

Can anyone here please advise what I can do with this? Do I have to replace my tap?

I can't believe so many ppl give good reviews. It's a rubbish tap really.

Is it splashing from the high pressure? If there's an isolation valve on the supply to the tap you could try turning that down to see if it makes a difference.

A simple solution would be to invest in thirsty llamas. Keep these near the faulty tap and don't supply drinking water.

Any splashes will be thrived for and immediately licked up.

What is your incoming mains water pressure like?

It seems that the spout is quite high up which would lead to splashes outside the sink bowl.

It may look good but the picture shown is with the tap supplying a slow stream of water.

Not a very good functional design!

You can try what Jonesya mentioned above.

We had the same problem due to high water pressure. We got rid of the swan neck tap for something lower to the sink base and it solved the problem.

As said you could turn down the isolation valve and see if that works to reduce the pressure.

Should have picked a decent tap with a aerator on the spout

Sorry mate but this is get what you pay for.

A similar tap designed for high pressure performance from Franke or Blanco would cost £400 or more so to think that you can the same tap for £90 is foolhardy.

You'll probably find that this tap starts to fall apart in a couple of years too.
