Kitchen Tap Recommendation pls?

[David J]

I’ve had problems with my kitchen tap since it was fitted, just leaks from around the cartridge, i think, its a single lever mixer tap, id like to replace it with one that doesn’t give me any problems at all !
I live in a bungalow and need a low pressure tap, does anyone have any recommendations please?
Any thing would be great, thanks

Spend a few pennies would by my advice. Go for a decent brand and not Chinese tat. At least with a decent brand you can get spares.

Welcome to the forum.
Get the plumber back to sort the tap out

That would be me, it was years ago, a divorce delayed things.
Any ideas?

Mixer taps at IKEA last maybe 5 years but have a lifetime guarantee. Keep the receipt, if it gives problems they'll give you your money back years later!

Good point, might try that, thanks

Ive calculated the head of my tap to about 0.217 bar, does it matter if i get a 0.3 bar tap?
