Frequently Asked Questions - TF10CH CDA

What is the minimum and maximum operating pressure for the TF10CH tap?

The minimum operating pressure is 0.5 bar for hot water and 1.0 bar for cold water. The maximum operating pressure is 5.5 bar. Exceeding these pressures can cause damage.

How often should the filter cartridge be replaced?

The filter cartridge has a maximum life of 6 months. Replace it sooner if you notice a decline in water taste or flow rate. For replacement filters, call 01949 862012.

Can I use the filtered water without turning off the tap?

No, the tap must be turned off before switching between filtered and unfiltered water. Turn the lever off, then turn right past the click for filtered water, or left past the click for unfiltered water.

What cleaning products are safe to use on this tap?

Use only a clean, soft damp cloth with warm water and mild liquid detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring powders, acidic cleaners, solvents, and harsh household chemicals as they can damage the finish and void the warranty.

What is the warranty coverage for the CDA TF10CH tap?

The tap has a 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship, a 2-year warranty on working parts and valves, and a 1-year warranty on decorative surface finishes and O-rings. The warranty applies to the original purchaser for normal domestic use in the UK, provided care and installation instructions are followed.

How do I install the filter cartridge?

Mount the filter bracket vertically on a cupboard wall using the supplied screws (and rawl plugs if needed). Remove dust caps from the filter, push the pushfit connectors onto each end, clip the filter into the bracket ensuring correct flow direction toward the tap, and connect the blue flexible pipe.

What should I do after installing the tap?

After installation, close all taps except the new mixer tap (leave it open). Turn on the mains water supply and check for leaks. Once satisfied, turn on the water heating. Clean the tap to remove installation marks and replace the protective bag until ready for use.

Why is the filtered water flow initially slow or discolored?

When the filter is new, air may be pulled through the system, and carbon discoloration can appear. This is normal. Run the filtered water for a few moments to flush the system. The flow will stabilize at 2–3 L/min.

Can this tap be used with a water softener?

Yes, the tap can be used with a water softening system. In that case, the isolator valve must be connected to the unsoftened cold mains supply to provide filtered drinking water that is not softened.

What is the recommended hot water temperature for the tap?

The recommended hot water temperature is 46°C. The maximum allowed is 70°C. Exceeding this temperature, even briefly, can cause damage to the tap.

Also avoid contact with any harsh household chemicals such as oven cleaners, drain cleaners, rust removers, paint strippers and toilet bowl cleaners, bar keepers friend or Brasso.

Important Technical Data:

Minimum hot / cold operating pressure 0.5 / 1.0 bar | Maximum hot water temperature 70°C*
Maximum operating pressure 5.5 bar* Recommended hot water temperature 46°C

*If these temperatures or pressures are exceeded, even for short periods, damage can result.

CDA taps are either WRAS approved or manufactured in accordance with recognised European standards. Please ensure that your Kitchen mixer is fitted in accordance with Local Water Byelaws.

These installation guidelines have been prepared for your direction and you must exercise due care at all times. We do not accept responsibility for problems that may occur through improper installation. Whilst assembling the tap take care not to accidentally loosen any screwed assemblies.

Installation Preparation:

Before installing the new mixer it is essential that you thoroughly flush through the supply pipes in order to remove any remaining solder, swarf or impurities from your system. Failure to carry out this simple procedure could cause problems or damage to the workings of the mixertap.

We strongly recommend installing particle filter strainers and isolation valves to both the hot and cold feed pipes in an accessible position. This will help to prevent premature failure of the valves and ease any future maintenance.

All parts should be removed from their packaging and inspected for completeness any transport damage prior to installation.

Shut off your water heating system and ensure that your mains stopcock is closed. Open the lowest hot and cold taps in the house and allow the water to run until the cold-water storage tank and pipes are fully empty. Please note, the hot water storage cylinder (if applicable) will always remain full.

This mixertap requires a 35mm∅ tap hole, if replacing an existing tap, remove the tap & clean the end of the feed pipes using wire wool the tap hole area should be free from dirt and sealant.

This tap can be used in conjunction with a water softening system and will remove the need for a separate drinking water tap. In this instance the isolator valve (U) must cut into the unsoftened cold mains supply.

Loosely position the tap and tail pipes to check if any alteration to the existing pipework is required, if this is the case do this now.

Stage 1 – install the tap:

1. Screw the fixing stud (F) into the base of the tap (A).
2. Place the upper sink seal (B) on the base of the tap (A).
3. Screw the hot (H), cold (I) & filtered (J) water tail pipes into the base of the tap (A). Note: the drawing key identifies water inlets.
4. Place the tap (A) and seal (B) centrally to the tap hole, passing the fixing stud (F) and tail pipes (H, I & J) through the sink.
5. Pass the rubber horseshoe (D) then the metal horseshoe (E) over the fixing stud (F). Note: if the tap is to be fitted to a stainless steel sink then the white triangular plate (C) can be fitted where shown to improve the stability of the tap.
6. Using a spanner tighten fixing nut (G) onto the fixing stud (F) securing the tap (A).
7. Connect the flexible 12 " hot pipe (H) to the hot water supply using the appropriate sized compression fittings.
8. Place the 14 " rubber seal (J1) into flexi pipe (J), now tighten the 14 " pushfit (K) into the end of the flexible filtered water pipe (J). Note PTFE tape can be used on the thread of pushfit (K) to ensure a water tight joint.
9. Using compression nuts (S) and olives (T) connect the 3-way tee (U) as shown to the 15mm cold water supply feed.
10. Attach a short stub of 15mm pipe (3) to the 3-way tee (U) as shown using compression nuts (S) and olives (T).
11. Connect the flexible 12 " cold pipe (I) to the 15mm pipe stub (3) using the appropriate sized compression fittings (1 & 2).

Stage 2 – install the filter:

1. Locate a convenient position to install the filter (N), remembering that it must be accessible when it is to be changed and functions best when mounted vertically.
2. Screw the filter bracket (P) to the cupboard wall using screws (O), if attaching the bracket to an interior wall use rawl plugs also.
3. Remove the dust caps from the ends of the filter (N) and write the installation date onto its label. Firmly push the pushfit connectors (M & Q) onto each end of the filter.
4. Clip the filter (N) into its bracket (P) noting the direction of flow through the filter (N) towards the tap (A).
5. Cut the blue flexible pipe (L) so it is slightly longer than the required lengths to and from the filter unit (N). When cutting the pipe use a sharp Stanley knife, ensuring that the pipe is cut cleanly and square at all ends.
6. Firmly push the blue pipe (L) apx. 12mm into the pushfit connector (K) and push fit connector (M).
7. Screw the large pushfit adaptor (R) onto the 3 way tee (U)
8. Firmly push the blue pipe (L) apx. 12mm into the pushfit connector (Q) and push fit adaptor (R).

After installation:

Once you have visually checked the new fittings and connections, ensure that all taps are closed except the new mixer tap, which should be left open. Turn on the water supply at the mains stop cock. As the system starts to refill, check carefully for leaks. Once you are fully satisfied that there are no leaks, turn on the water heating. Clean the tap to remove any marks created during installation as instructed then replace the bag that has been provided to protect the tap until it is ready for use.

Stage 3 – setting the tap up:

1. The filtered drinking water system performs at a maximum of 2-3 L/min. Turn the tap fully on to filtered water, now the turn the lever on the 3-way valve (U) to adjust the flow of filtered water to the correct level. Note when the filter is new it will take a moment to pull any air though the system, you may notice some carbon discoloration in the water at this point, this is normal and will pass with flushing.

Using the tap:

For best results when using the filtered water always run the tap for a few moments. Running the tap will help to flush the system through and make the water cooler for drinking, if the tap has not been used for several hours then flush the tap for longer. When comparing the taste of filtered and unfiltered water always taste the filtered water first.

The dual stage filter is designed to improve the taste, clarity and odour of drinking water, the filter also the help to reduce the level of chemical impurities and lime scale build up on kettles and cookware in low-moderate scale regions.

Each filter cartridge has a maximum 6-month life. For replacement filters call 01949 862012.

To select filtered water turn the lever off, then fully right past the 'click' to select filtered water, tilt the lever to control the filtered water flow.

To select hot, cold or mixed water turn the lever off, now turn to the left past the 'click' to select non filtered water, tilt the lever to control the hot, cold or mixed water flow.

The tap will not switch from filtered to non filtered water without the tap being turned off first.
