Tap nearly has me dancing!Verified ReviewerLovely tap, the plumber was very pleasantly surprised and impressed! The taps have smooth action and perfect flow, what's more, they're lovely and shiny!5

A nice slid tap atVerified ReviewerA nice slid tap at a great price. A bit of effort to plumb in, if your doing it yourself, however a dream to fit and work straight away. We like the ball tap for ease of use.5

Tapping in on the right product.....Verified ReviewerIt was the style we were looking for and priced at the budget we had set. Well done Ikea for having this product, as many more like it can be found on the market but this was the one for us.5

Nice taps but....Verified ReviewerI am delighted with this kitchen tap...except for the fact that both tap heads say 'HOT'!!! Unfortunately the plumber only noticed this after installing it and the discs don't seem to be removable so I couldn't get a replacement at IKEA. I would advise checking markings before installing!! Otherwise a brilliant tap.3

Kitchen mixer tapVerified ReviewerReally pleased with the tap, looks stylish and easy to fit5

Great replacementVerified ReviewerEasy to install, looks good, works efficiently5

Difficult to serviceVerified ReviewerI've had two of these taps installed in kitchen and utility for 5 years now. They look great and are easy to install. However one has developed a small leak around the cartridge. Easy to fix I thought, but the tap is impossible to take apart and appears to need some special tools. The screw holding the tap head sheared so I can't now remove the tap head to get at the cartridge. The only solution is a new tap! Needless to say I'm not very impressed...3

Replacement needed in 3 yearsVerified ReviewerJust had to replace the first one as it had holes and leaked everywhere so not impressed with the quality3

Great mixer tapVerified ReviewerGreat mixer tap. More competitively priced than most of its other cousins. Smooth action and lovely finish5

Value for money!Verified ReviewerGreat piece of kit. I renovate houses and put these in EVERY kitchen. They are good value, look great and best of all - work well without splashing- recommended!5

Smooth flowVerified ReviewerPurchased this to replace another make which had a poorly manufactured aerator/nozzle and sprayed water everywhere. This one is perfect, looks good and I am thrilled with it.5

Looks great!Verified ReviewerReally lovely chrome tap which looks great in my country kitchen. Good size and works really well with high water pressure.5

PerfectVerified ReviewerLovely to use tap, easy for adults/children and elderly to turn yet easy to turn off efficiently too. The tap is also eco friendly dispensing water at a controlled rate.5

All of our kitchen mixer taps save up to 40% water. They have a simple watersaving device that reduces the water flow (but without you noticing any difference).

Heating hot water accounts for 25% of home energy usage. Using water efficiently reduces energy bills and ultimately reduces carbon emissions.Look for the unified water label and start making a difference. The label has a clear colour coded system to show how much energy and water the product uses. Green rated products use less than those rated Red.Visit www.uwla.eu to find out more.

Four years ago, we started a project to improve our taps and knew we needed more expertise. That's when we hired Antony Smith, an engineer from England who has worked with taps for more than a decade. Now he lives in Sweden and is part of a small team that develops taps and showers for IKEA. Like every new employee, Antony read founder Ingvar Kamprad's Testament of a Furniture Dealer. In it, Ingvar writes 'wasting resources is a mortal sin at IKEA.' This helped Antony understand how much we care about water and how his job is just one step in our larger approach to sustainability.

A company-wide dedication

"When I got to IKEA, I realised we practise 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."So why is conserving water so important? Because water is one of our planet's most precious resources. Earth may be covered in a lot of water, but very little of it is drinkable and even less is accessible. No organism can survive without it, and no new water is created. It's constantly recycled, but our freshwater supply is overused; not evenly distributed; and impacted by pollution, contamination and climate change.

A water-conscious commitment

IKEA values the quality and quantity of water so much that we are committed to being water positive by 2020. One aspect is finding simple ways for people to conserve water. Aerators are a step we took long before our water commitment, but Antony and his team are working hard on new water saving taps using sensors or spray technology. Behind the scenes, there's more to our commitment than what we develop for kitchens. Our initiative also includes exploring ways to improve water efficiency across the whole product process, whether it’s at our suppliers, distribution centres or stores. It can mean providing factory workers and their families with fresh drinking water, ensuring all factory water is cleaned before release, reducing water usage in textile production or using rainwater to flush toilets in stores. "We make things hard on ourselves for good reasons, Antony says."

An every-bit-counts belief

See why the aerator in your kitchen mixer tap is a small part of our bigger effort to conserve water? "Some people who live where you can just turn on your tap and get water may not really think about saving water; it's taken for granted," Antony says. But he and his team think about water at every step. It's part of creating a positive impact on people and the planet. We think every water-saving action adds up and thank you for helping with your kitchen mixer tap!

Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the amounts vary depending on the desired properties. Copper is usually the main material and the more zinc you add results in the brass being harder and stronger, but also results in it being more difficult to shape and less resistant to rust. Brass can be recycled as brass but never into its original metals. At IKEA we use brass for things like knobs, handles, frames and taps.
