    Perfect timing
    4 tears ago I purchased a Caroma Kitchen Flick mixer . I read the reviews and thought I'll pay the extra and get the Caroma to avoid issues down the track .
    4 years later it sprung a leak . How crap does the casting need to be to start pissing water out the side of the spout ?

    • banana365 on 19/06/2022 - 00:56

      That's why I've changed to only round taps. They're normally formed from proper tubing that has been bent into the desired shape. Any oval, rounded square etc. taps are typically formed from a flat sheet that's been bent round a mandrel and the seam is joined (soldering usually). It's that seam that's the weak point and inevitably breaks.

      I had two break at the seam before making the change. We have stupidly high water pressure though and that doesn't help.

      • troyww on 19/06/2022 - 01:10

        I wouldn't of thought theres a lot of pressure past the valve . In fact these 4/5 star Caroma taps are stupidly slow filling a sink .

        • banana365 on 19/06/2022 - 01:46

          There can be as there's not a lot of pressure drop across some of these ceramic cartridges. Previously I've never bothered with the flow reducer that's included with most taps as, like you, I like the fast fill. When I installed our current one I put them on out of curiosity. They massively reduce the pressure and we don't end up with a jet of water half way across the kitchen thanks to a misplaced bowl in the sink. The fill is slower, but not so much that we can't live with it if it's going to make the tap last longer.

          We typically go through a shower handset every couple of years, an evaporative air con dump valve every year or two (water pressure operated) and garden sprinklers/solenoids every five minutes (before I fitted a pressure limiter). We have stupidly high water pressure!

          • subywagon on 19/06/2022 - 10:21

            @banana365: I'm not sure if it's the same with all properties, but you can go to where your water mains connects to your property and adjust your water pressure by turning the tap down a bit.

            • PissLUR on 19/06/2022 - 10:47

              @subywagon: That only works for older builds. Quarter turn taps are the normal these days.

              @subywagon: That only really affects flow rate. Static pressure isn't affected by that.

          Not that it matters anymore, but I installed a 4 star Dorf (apparently same company as Caroma?) kitchen tap and replaced the aerator in the tip - no more slow flow. Wondering if yours might have the same.

          • troyww on 20/06/2022 - 17:25

            @Chickenleg: You are correct . I guess thats why the spout gets enough pressure in it to spurt out through the hole .

      • dbmitch on 19/06/2022 - 18:31

        Static pressure and water flow, I'd love an expert to explain the difference to me.

        • banana365 on 19/06/2022 - 19:54

          Turn on your kitchen tap. Upstream of that, put a restriction in the pipe, e.g. turn the mains valve down a turn or two or install one of those tap flow restrictors that are just washers with small holes in them, and it will reduce the flow. It'll go through that restriction slower than if it wasn't there. The pressure on the downstream side will be lower than the upstream side thanks to that restriction.

          Now imagine there is nowhere for that water to flow - all the taps, washing machines etc. in the house are off. No water is being used. The pressure on the downstream side will rapidly rise until it is equal to the pressure on the upstream side (because it's all the same vessel). That's static pressure, i.e. nothing is flowing, it's just sitting there.

          That pressure is what some devices are a little more sensitive to. In my case it's been retic solenoids and evap air con dump valves. They both rely on water pressure for opening/closing and are typically just plastic. The high pressure makes them operate with a bang that really shortens their life.

          I've also had a kitchen tap fail where the water forced its way out of where the spout sits in the tap body, i.e. downstream of the tap valve but still at too great a pressure for the join to handle.

          • Chickenleg on 20/06/2022 - 16:51

            @banana365: Can you do anything about high water pressure? Some sort of pressure limiting valve?

            • banana365 on 20/06/2022 - 17:04

              @Chickenleg: You can, but they are rather expensive devices. I have had a small one installed on the air con, but we really need the whole property to be covered. I keep meaning to call my water supplier (Water Corp) to see what they can do as I believe the pressure may be well above what the standard says it should be.

    • Wt133 on 19/06/2022 - 01:52

      Their usually all made out of plastic now with very thin bits of metal or no metals at all in some cases. Like most things now just not made to last

    The equivalent of this (style wise at least) in Bunnings is currently $85, though it's often about $60ish.

    A tap doesn't often go wrong, but one of an unknown quality that as far as I could see does not conform to Australian standards, may be false economy. For less than the cost of a plumber's call out, go for something from somewhere you can actually check the quality of before you buy.

    • nGu on 19/06/2022 - 01:17

      the tap you linked has 17 1-star reviews lol

      • banana365 on 19/06/2022 - 01:37

        Didn't notice that. Did you read the 5 star review? Apparently they've updated it and it's improved. It may not be the model I bought last year (they have a few similar ones around that price point in store). The fastening on the one I have is more akin to the Bang Good one in that it has a large, hand turntable nut rather than a small nut on a threaded rod that's a pain to tighten, as per the picture on the Bunnings one (though their pictures do sometimes vary from the actual product).

        My point still stands though, buying this may be false economy. Particularly if you're not fitting it yourself (everyone's doing the legal thing and getting a plumber right? 😏)

          (everyone's doing the legal thing and getting a plumber right? 😏)

          Pretty sure it's not illegal to install your own tap. For the bunnings purchased ones, it might void your warranty… But I wouldn't call that illegal

        • Clear on 19/06/2022 - 08:56

          Replacing your own tap is legal.

          Work you can do without a permit

          repair and or replace tapware, shower heads or shower hoses (like for like) except for vegetable spray mixers and shower spray on hoses

          • banana365 on 19/06/2022 - 09:31

            @Clear: That's good to know. I thought it came under the same restrictive regulations as other plumbing.

    Quick question is this product Watermarked and carry a WELS rating as required for tapware sold in/to Australia?

    • Clear on 19/06/2022 - 08:52

      What do you think? With BG not being an Australian company it would be extremely difficult trying to get a Chinese court to play ball on laws that don't apply to them.

      • Cbrya12 on 19/06/2022 - 08:54

        Couldnt see anything listed on the site, might be worth a thought regarding insurance etc. If there was a failure.

        • Clear on 19/06/2022 - 08:57

          Considering you can legally install your own tap without a licensed plumber is that really going to void insurance?

            @Clear: In Australia as far as I'm aware, licenced plumbers won't install anything that's not watermark certified? Maybe it's condition of their own insurance, or an industry standard?
            It's a really valid point/question around insurance coverage though - wouldn't want to save 50 bucks only to lose thousands in the event of a leak? Best to refer to your insurance PDS and have a read of it

              +1

              @legs: OzBargainers throw the insurance line on electronics all the time and over the years I've waited no one has ever provided proof. My PDS certainly doesn't mention anything about unapproved and how many plumbers go looking up WELS before installation?

              • Cbrya12 on 19/06/2022 - 13:01
                +1

                @Clear: Watermark is a requirement for all sanitary fixtures, appliances and tapware sold in Australia required to be installed by a licenced plumber. WELS ratings relate the the water efficiency of the product. Purchasing and installation of a non watermarked product could potentially cause issues if there was a failure in the mixer such as a burst flexible water connector that led to an insurance claim. Just an FYI not saying this product is anyway inferior to alot of the low end rubbish they sell at Bunnings or your local bathroom warehouse they just have simply decided not to apply for Watermark approval as they are a Chinese retailer selling items globally.

                • Clear on 19/06/2022 - 13:11

                  @Cbrya12: Yeah I understand the requirement for them to be sold in Australia and the same applies to electronics. Voiding insurance is a whole different matter and in the case of Xiaomi electronics this has been proven to be false repeatedly.

                  Banggood aren't Australian and have no legal obligation to have these requirements.

      100% won't, but a Wels rating is no guarantee of quality….
