Genoa Gun Metal Basin Mixer Tap Single Lever

If you're looking for a basin mixer that combines sleek design with reliable performance, the Genoa Gun Metal Basin Mixer delivers exactly that. This is a single lever faucet built to handle everyday use without compromise. The gun metal finish gives your bathroom a contemporary look while the solid brass construction means this mixer will outlast most trends in home design.

What makes this faucet stand out is how it performs across different water pressures. Whether you're in an older building with low pressure or a modern home with strong flow, this mixer adapts to your system. The ceramic cartridge inside is rated for 500,000 cycles, which translates to years of smooth, reliable operation without the annoying drips that plague cheaper alternatives.

Why This Works For You

The single lever design means you control both water temperature and flow with one smooth motion. No fiddling with separate hot and cold taps. The pop-up waste included with this mixer coordinates perfectly with the main faucet, creating a cohesive look at your sink.

The gun metal PVD finish isn't just for looks. This coating has been tested for 200 hours in a salt-spray environment, which simulates years of bathroom humidity and moisture exposure. That means the finish won't fade, tarnish, or change color even in steamy bathrooms or coastal homes where salt air is a concern.

Installation is straightforward too. The flexible hoses are 400mm long with standard half-inch connections that work with UK, EU, and US plumbing systems. If you're replacing an existing mixer or installing one for the first time, the reversible inlets mean you can adapt to your current setup without complications.

How to Use It

Using the Genoa is intuitive. Simply push the lever forward to turn water on and adjust the height to control temperature. Pull back for more cold water, push forward for more hot. The lift rod on the pop-up waste is within easy reach, so you can open and close the drain without bending over awkwardly.

For low pressure situations, you'll notice this mixer maintains good flow even when your water pressure drops below 1 bar. It can operate efficiently from just 0.2 bar, which makes it ideal for apartments, upper floors, or properties with older water systems. At normal pressure, it delivers an impressive 8 liters per minute at 3 bar, so you get quick fill times for washing and cleaning.

What's Included

• Single lever mixer valve with low-lead brass body precision milled for durability and smooth control
• Pop-up waste in brass with 1¼ inch outlet and lift rod for easy operation
• Concealed face plate finished in gun metal PVD, salt-spray tested for lasting resilience
• Two flexible hoses at 400mm with standard ½ inch connections compatible with UK, EU, and US systems

Technical Specifications

Care and Maintenance

Keeping your Genoa mixer looking new is simple. Wipe down the gun metal finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and dust. For stubborn mineral deposits from hard water, use a slightly damp cloth with a touch of white vinegar, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel.

Avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the PVD coating. The gun metal finish is designed to develop character over time, so minor wear is normal and actually adds to the authentic look. If you notice the cartridge becoming stiff or water not shutting off cleanly after several years of use, the ceramic cartridge can be replaced without replacing the entire mixer.
