So, why conserving water? Because no organism on earth can survive without it, and no new water is created. It's constantly recycled, but our freshwater supply is overused and not evenly distributed. It’s impacted by pollution, contamination and climate change, too. "Those of us who live where you can just turn on your tap may not think about saving water; it's taken for granted," Antony says.

You save hot water and energy every time you lift the lever. The cold start function avoids the unnecessary use of hot water for daily rituals like washing your hands or brushing your teeth.

The cold-start function prevents hot water waste and saves energy. When you lift the lever straight up, only cold water is released. The function restricts opening the lever fully to the right.
Hot water is released by turning the lever to the left. It is only then that hot water is consumed.
This is a durable mixer tap that you can use for many years, since the hard, ceramic discs withstand the friction that always occurs when you change the temperature of the water.
An aerator integrated in the tap keeps the water flow just right while less water and energy is used.

Best buy at IKEA Lakhan❤️👍
Noisy but still good. IanIt is good with cheap price but it has noisy somehow.
Good looking on trend TapRichardTried this tap with the Tvallen sink and it looks on trend.
Clever feature:- The cold position of the lever is in the centre position actually facing you. Therefore it doesn't look odd when left to the side.
Great valueAnonymous reviewerLooks great. Of course has a plastic outer but I don't mind and I am concious that it's repurposed plastic. This gives it more value to me.
The actual mechanism for the tap feels solid and great quality. Easy to clean. Very good value at $25. Will look at the longevity but it feels (and says on the box) that it's set to last at least several to 10 years.
Installation of the tap itself was ok. The rings around the hoses took a while for us to figure out. Always a bit awkward if you have to squeeze into a tight space for connections inside the cabinet of the vanity.
Overall quite happy!
NahhhhhSophianyLooks god but it’s made of plastic & the quality looks poor. I returned it.
We’ve had two of theseAlexisWe’ve had two of these taps installed in our ensuite for 3 months now and they are great for daily use. They do “feel” cheap being plastic instead of the metal of a regular tap, but they look great and for the price they are excellent value and so far are holding up well.

Sustainable life at home
Water-conscious commitment in bathrooms
Every time you brush your teeth or wash your hands, you can help save water. A small aerator in every one of our bathroom mixer taps reduces water flow while maintaining pressure.
Story
Water-conscious commitment in bathrooms
Every time you brush your teeth, wash your hands, shave or take a bath, you can help with something essential – saving water. That’s why all our taps have an aerator that saves water and energy while keeping the water stream just right. But that’s just a small part of a bigger effort: conserving more clean water than we use.
Antony Smith, an engineer from England, remembers when he joined IKEA and the small team that develops our taps and showers. "I realized we practice what we preach about sustainability," Antony says. "It's a refreshing experience, but it makes our job really difficult because we genuinely have to deliver on sustainability with each product."
Water is precious, but often taken for granted
Thinking about water at every step
Behind the scenes, we constantly explore new ways to improve water efficiency. That includes providing factory workers and their families with fresh drinking water, ensuring all factory water is cleaned before release, reducing water usage in textile production and using rainwater to flush toilets in stores. And now we are working on new taps using sensors and spray technology – and new water-efficient showers – to save even more. Every water-saving action adds up.
Material
What is ABS plastic?
ABS plastic is a strong and stable material with a glossy surface – making it perfect for especially used everyday objects like cutlery drawers, kitchen utensils, toothbrush mugs and bathroom hooks. ABS is made from oil-based, non-renewable raw materials, but development is progressing and we are using more and more recycled ABS. It is an important step towards our goal of only using plastic that is recycled or from renewable sources.
Designer thoughts

“When designing SALJEN wash-basin mixer tap, we used the same high-quality, water- and energy-saving internal components as the rest of our tap range but worked with a plastic body to reduce costs. The challenge with plastic though, is the noticeable line created when two halves of the mould come together. I decided to integrate this line into the design, making it a sleek and attractive feature. The result? An expressive, high-quality tap at an unbeatable price!"
