Low water pressure is often caused by a clogged aerator or debris in the cartridge. Follow these steps to diagnose and fix the issue:

• Clean the aerator: Unscrew the aerator at the faucet tip and rinse it under running water. Remove any mineral deposits or debris.
• Check the cartridge: If cleaning the aerator doesn't help, the ceramic cartridge may be clogged. Remove and inspect it for sediment buildup.
• Inspect supply lines: Ensure the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink are fully open. Partially closed valves can restrict water flow.
• Test water pressure elsewhere: If other faucets have normal pressure, the issue is isolated to this unit. If pressure is low throughout your home, contact your water supplier.

For persistent issues, consider replacing the cartridge with a genuine AIMADI part for optimal performance.

A leak at the base is typically caused by worn O-rings or loose connections. Here's how to fix it:

• Tighten the mounting nut: Access the area beneath the sink and use a basin wrench to tighten the mounting nut. Do not overtighten—hand-tight plus a quarter turn is sufficient.
• Inspect O-rings: Turn off the water supply and remove the faucet. Check the rubber O-rings for cracks or deformation. Replace them if worn.
• Check the seal: Ensure the rubber gasket or deck plate seal is properly positioned before reinstalling the faucet.
• Dry the area completely: After repairs, dry the base thoroughly and monitor for 24 hours to confirm the leak is resolved.

If the leak persists after following these steps, the issue may be internal. Contact AIMADI support for replacement parts or professional assistance.

Brushed finishes require gentle care to maintain their elegant appearance. Follow these best practices:

• Use a soft cloth: Wipe the surface daily with a soft microfiber cloth dampened with warm water. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Mild soap solution: For stubborn stains, use a drop of mild dish soap mixed with water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners: Never use scouring pads, bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners. These can damage the protective coating and cause discoloration.
• Follow the grain: When wiping, move the cloth in the direction of the brushed lines to preserve the texture.
• Remove hard water deposits: For mineral buildup, apply a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water, let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse and dry.

Regular maintenance will keep your AIMADI faucet looking new for years. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the finish warranty.
