What should I do if there is low water pressure from my IKEA tap?
If the water pressure is low for both hot and cold water and your tap has been newly installed, the first step is to contact a plumber. If the plumber doesn't find any issues, please contact IKEA customer service and we will be happy to assist you further. Note that you will need to have your proof of purchase available and that the tap must be within the guarantee period.
If you have an older tap, low water pressure may also be caused by limescale build‑up. In such cases, you can loosen the aerator, remove the filter and clean it using a mixture of vinegar and water, then check whether the pressure improves.
Low pressure can also be caused by dirt in the pipes, as limescale can build up and restrict the water flow in the tap. In this case, you will need to contact a plumber who can inspect your pipes.
If you are still experiencing low water pressure, please contact IKEA Customer Support for further assistance.
